Studying Philosophy and English literature together will allow you to imbue your creative writing with a consideration of universal questions, creating literature with substance as well as style.
You’ll be introduced to the biggest puzzles that have fascinated humans for centuries, such as ‘who are we?’, ‘what can we know?’ and ‘what should we do to lead worthwhile lives?’ – as well as finding out how the greatest minds have tried to solve them.
You’ll also discover the importance of English literature; how it is affected by the culture, language, technology and economics of the period, but also how it influences readers and society itself. By studying English literature you will, in turn, explore many other subjects, including history, politics, religion, psychology and the history of art.
By exploring these disciplines, and engaging in debates with your fellow students, you’ll develop your thinking so it becomes more rigorous, systematic and creative. You’ll also pick up transferable key skills that will be of use throughout your career, including critical analysis, complex problem solving, judgement, and the specific methods of literary research, such as bibliographies, databases and information technology.
Your studies will be supported by a staff that offers one-to-one personal tutoring and personalised feedback on your assessments. Our Philosophy courses were voted 2nd in the UK for ‚Satisfied with feedback’ in the Guardian University Guide 2018, while our English Literature team includes Dr Tory Young, the author of Studying English Literature, a text used on many other University courses as well as our own.
