About the course

This BA Philosophy course offers an in-depth study of core areas including ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and political philosophy. Engage with influential thinkers from Western and non-Western traditions, applying philosophical insights to contemporary issues like global poverty, climate change, animal ethics, sex and gender, and artificial intelligence. Graduates gain profound understanding of human existence, morality, and reality, alongside exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills—reflected in 95% employment or further study within 15 months (Graduate Outcomes, 2022/2023, published 2025).Key features include customizable modules across disciplines, small classes with personalized tutoring, rare coverage of Chinese and Indian philosophy, embedded career skills, access to the Southampton Ethics Centre and Hartley Library, cutting-edge Digital Humanities facilities (e.g., VR, 3D printing), and a year abroad option. Expert-led teaching emphasizes small-group and one-on-one sessions, with wellbeing, mentoring, and careers support in a welcoming community. This four-year full-time program is based at Avenue Campus. For details, visit our course page.
