Why Lancaster?
From crippling economies to Britain’s mental health crisis, philosophy can help us unlock the answers to today’s most pressing issues. Join us to discuss and debate different topics while exploring your interests and widening your career options.
Digging deeper
We start this course by asking a vital question – what is philosophy? You’ll explore its value, the methods used and debates within the subject. At the same time, our teaching team will discuss their fascinating research on everything from the ethics of work to feminist philosophy.
A critical part of this course is completing a dissertation. You’ll have 20,000 words to explore an area of philosophy that interests you. Whenever you need support, you’ll be able to turn to your academic supervisor.
The freedom to explore
Alongside the core module and dissertation, you’ll choose from our range of optional modules. You might look at a theoretical topic such as modern religious and atheistic thought or an applied area such as philosophy of mental disorder. Perhaps you’ll pick our independent study module to focus on any topic that sparks your interest.
Your ability to evaluate arguments, assess evidence and think critically will be invaluable to employers. The way you look at problems through a philosophical lens will also give you an edge.
