Course summary


Overview

The big questions facing society are both political and philosophical. Is democracy broken? Can we achieve environmental justice? Should the media be under tighter control? Because the political arena is guided by big ideas, bringing the rigour of philosophical thinking to your political engagements and actions will have great benefits for you and your community. At UEA, you’ll work with world experts in both politics and philosophy to become a more informed citizen, or perhaps even a future politician campaigning for office, or an activist trying to change the terms of a socially important debate. UEA’s Philosophy and Politics with a Placement Year degree is designed to allow you to engage equally with both disciplines. You can also shape your studies in the direction of your core interests which might align more to one or the other subject. You’ll also spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable work experience and specialised employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. You’ll thought-provoking lectures and seminars where you’ll have the chance to present and defend your own ideas and visions for a better world. You’ll be invited to student organised events like the Politics on Wednesday (POW) series, or contribute to our Eastminster politics blog. There will also be opportunities to get involved in the debates and social events organized by our vibrant Philosophy and Politics student societies and discover like-minded friends who are ready to change the world. You’ll graduate from your Philospohy and Politics degree with a rich and flexible skillset that will be highly valued by employers in a wide range of sectors including government, the Civil Service, consultancy, NGOs and PR.
