This is a joint honours course, where you study Philosophy alongside Sociology. Philosophy 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. You will explore the way we think and reason and the assumptions that underpin what we think we know about ourselves and the world. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the history of philosophy and contemporary debates, as well as the ability to ask challenging questions, reach reasoned conclusions and express yourself with clarity and precision. Sociology studies human social life, groups and societies. A wide-ranging subject, it analyses social relationships and social institutions, and the ways in which they shape people’s lives. Sociologists focus on many topics, ranging from global social processes to changing identities and personal relationships. Studying sociology will increase your knowledge and understanding of the social world in the 21st century. Our flexible course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within the subject.

In the Philosophy element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 modules include Introduction to Philosophy, Academic Literacy: Philosophy, Introduction to Ethics and Theory of Knowledge. Years 2 and 3 let you grapple with the ideas of great thinkers from Plato to Wittgenstein and examine contemporary developments in areas ranging from the philosophy of mind to culture, gender and sexuality. In the Sociology element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 comprises two introductory modules which expose you to the fundamentals of sociological analysis. In Year 2 you decide how to build on this basis of sociological knowledge by choosing from a range of modules covering such topics as global social change, ‘race’ and ethnicity and gender relations. Year 3 includes honours modules as well as a specialist study on a topic of your choice if you choose the optional dissertation module.
