Course summary

The Philosophy and Literature PhD is a leading course suiting students who thrive on independent interdisciplinary study. You will explore a topic in depth as part of an active research community supervised by experts. Study Philosophy with English or Modern Languages.

Course Overview

The Warwick PhD in Philosophy and Literature is aimed at outstanding students who wish to pursue advanced research ultimately to become professional researchers in and teachers of philosophy. The Philosophy and Literature degree is for candidates whose research projects combine philosophical and literary concerns. The combination can be achieved in a number of ways as aspects of literature can be treated as topics of philosophical inquiry or a more combined and interdisciplinary approach can be taken.

While many UK philosophy departments possess strength in analytic philosophy or continental philosophy we are distinctive in having world-leading philosophers from both fields. We also collaborate extensively with academics and practitioners in other subjects including English and other modern European languages.
