Philosophy and Politics, BA (Hons), with study abroad

A joint degree in Philosophy and Politics enables students to explore profound philosophical inquiries, such as 'How should we live?' and 'Is there a God?', while examining key themes, concepts, and events that have influenced modern politics. Through guidance from field experts, learners gain insights into contemporary issues in both disciplines, including state obligations, the power of ideas, and ethical considerations. The program begins with foundational modules like Introduction to Philosophy and Politics in the Modern World, followed by flexible options in later years, such as Middle East politics, international relations, and global development topics.The study abroad option offers a transformative experience, allowing third-year students to study at international partner universities in regions like Australia, the USA, Canada, Europe, or Asia. This enhances global perspectives, professional networks, cultural awareness, and personal skills through specialized modules aligned with the degree. While efforts are made to secure placements, if unavailable, students can transition to a standard three-year program at Lancaster, with the university not responsible for related financial costs.
