Philosophy and English Literature, BA (Hons)

With our BA Philosophy and English literature course, develop your critical and analytical skills and apply them to a variety of philosophical and literary texts. In philosophy, we will give you an understanding of the central philosophical principles, concepts, problems, texts and figures. You will be taught by leading experts whose research strengths lie especially in moral philosophy and the philosophy of the mind and language. In your English Literature modules, you will read more of authors and genres that you may already know, but you will also encounter aspects of literary studies that may be less familiar to you, from children’s literature to publishing studies and the history of the book.In both subjects, you will be taught in small interactive seminar groups, encouraging discussion and debate with teaching staff and peers. Our small class sizes ensure that you will receive dedicated, individual attention.For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/philosophy-ug/ba-philosophy-and-english-literature
