Course summary

At Leeds, you can study philosophy with one of nine languages. On this four-year course, you’ll combine fluency in a language with the ability to analyse complex concepts and arguments. In philosophy, you’ll explore key concepts and topics such as argument construction, moral and political philosophy, the history of modern philosophy, the nature of knowledge and reality, as well as applied philosophy in topics such as bioethics, race, gender, and the philosophy of war and terrorism. You'll reach a professional standard in your chosen language through intensive learning and your year abroad. You’ll also explore cultures across the globe, while focusing on the countries where your chosen language is spoken. In your final year, you can enhance your translation skills or business language and develop your final year project, when you get the chance to exercise your own research skills and ideas in an extended research project of your own choosing. You’ll be able to choose to take your Final Year Project either with philosophy or with your chosen language. The international outlook and knowledge you develop alongside advanced language skills will allow you to consider career options in a range of fields when you graduate.
