Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - Philosophy

UEA's philosophy degree is a great opportunity to explore fundamental questions – about ethics, the nature of the good, human and animal minds, the nature of religious belief, and the place of humans in the universe. 

Discover how the great thinkers of the past imagined the world and how their radical ideas might still be of relevance today. Find out how studying philosophy can help students tackle current issues – climate justice, conspiracy theories, and uncertainty in a ‘post-truth’ world. 

UEA philosophy’s staff reflects this great diversity, as they teach and research across a broad range of topics. This means students can tailor their degree to reflect their interests. 

Students will be equipped with a brilliant range of analytical skills for both presenting complex ideas simply, and criticising poor arguments or dubious appeals to evidence. These are exactly the skills many employers prize and graduates go on to exciting and rewarding careers in teaching, government, journalism, law, environmental work, business, the arts, and beyond.
