Philosophy and Psychology, BA (Hons)

Studying a BA in Philosophy and Psychology explores profound questions about human psychology, the mind, and what constitutes a flourishing life. These disciplines overlap significantly, making them ideal to study together. In philosophy, you'll examine concepts like ethics, knowledge, and reality, while psychology delves into mental processes, biological mechanisms, and social contexts. The programme includes options for a placement year or study abroad, extending it to four years.The first year introduces core modules in moral philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, and psychological research methods. Subsequent years build on this with compulsory modules and electives, culminating in a third-year dissertation on a self-chosen topic. Assessment involves essays, exams, and self-directed learning, emphasising research and original work.
