Course summary
By choosing HISTORY and PHILOSOPHY you’ll enjoy the freedom to choose from a wide range of optional modules, depending on your own preferences and interests.These two dynamic subjects will help you to develop your analytical and reasoning expertise, whilst also giving you an understanding of some of the philosophical ideology that has shaped world events and societies.

Philosophy aims to develop your powers of argument, critical thinking and conceptual analysis through the search for answers to ultimate questions.
