This course involves being open to new and different responses to familiar and unfamiliar questions. This means we teach philosophy primarily through reading and discussing key texts from the European tradition, including some of the most exciting thinkers of the last century: Nietzsche, Sartre, Foucault, Deleuze, and de Beauvoir. You will be encouraged to make links between philosophy and other subjects, such as politics, literature, film, the environment, psychology, and computer science. Our course ties Modern European philosophy to concrete, practical, and everyday questions-such as ethics, technology, economics, communication, work and art. A philosophy degree provides you with intellectual and perceptual skills which are an advantage in the pursuit of any professional career. Employers recognise that these skills are highly transferable. They mark out independent and thoughtful individuals. As well as continuing to postgraduate study, recent graduates have gone on to work in publishing, social work, education, librarianship, the music industry, local councils and the civil service.
