Course Summary

This is a joint honours course, where you study English Literature alongside Philosophy. The course offers the opportunity to study an exciting range of modules, blending the study of classic texts and literary traditions with current theoretical models for understanding literature as a dynamic, global phenomenon. Philosophy explores the way we think and reason as well as the assumptions that underpin what we think we know about ourselves and the world .Philosophy at Oxford Brookes tackles some of the most exciting and fundamental questions about human nature and our place in the world, such as whether the mind is a computer and if it is rational to believe in God. Our course is renowned for its inspirational teaching and research excellence. In the 2013 National Student Survey (Source: Unistats), 93 per cent of students agreed that staff had made the subject interesting.
