In philosophy we have experts in both Western and non-Western traditions, meaning you鈥檒l be able to explore everything from Kant to feminist philosophy to Islamic ethics and Indian philosophy. Likewise in literature we have experts in both English and world literatures, offering modules in everything from Medieval theatre to contemporary Palestinian fiction.

In your first year of studies, you鈥檒l choose from mini-module options designed to enhance your professional skills, like Creating a Literary Tour. You鈥檒l also have the chance to attend our literature-specific careers workshops.Additionally, you鈥檒l have the opportunity to apply for an internship with the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies, based in our department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, which could see you contribute to a real-world research project with organisations such as think tanks and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
