Course summary

Studying BA Philosophy and Psychology allows you to confront and study profound questions concerning human psychology and the nature of the human mind. There are numerous areas of overlap making these subjects particularly suitable to study alongside each other.Within philosophy you will confront questions such as 鈥榃hat does a flourishing human life look like?鈥� Embarking on this subject will equip you with the skills needed to think carefully and deeply about what matters in a good life, and how individual happiness is related to friendships, relationships, family, society, the political system and culture.The psychology element is designed to give you an understanding of the mind and behaviour in humans and non-human animals. You will get the chance to study people in terms of their internal mental processes, the biological mechanisms that underlie their behaviour, and the social and developmental context in which they act.You can also apply to add a placement year or a year abroad to your degree, increasing the course from three years to four.Philosophy is a new subject for many students, so in your first year you will follow a range of introductory courses, introducing the fundamental philosophical subject areas. You will also take a comparable number of introductory modules in psychology.In your second year, you will further increase your knowledge by taking compulsory modules in philosophy and psychology.The third year includes a dissertation that allows a deep, independently driven, exploration of a topic of your choice.
