Course summary

Our BA in Philosophy, Ethics and Sustainability at Essex University is a course for anyone who wants to understand the environmental crises of today and play an active role in addressing them.Philosophy provides you with the skills to analyse the environmental challenges we face and to creatively re-think our relationship to the non-human world. It ensures that you understand and respond appropriately to the ethical dimensions of environmental challenges, such as climate justice or animal ethics.On this course, interdisciplinary modules such as "Addressing Global Sustainability Challenges" from Life Sciences enable you to make sense of the science behind these environmental challenges and to effectively cooperate with scientists in addressing these issues.Our BA also includes Interdisciplinary Studies modules such as "Social Entrepreneurs, Sustainability and Community Action" and "Community Engagement: Group Projects or Global Challenges" that prepare you to get actively involved in tackling environmental challenges.This course offers a Philosophy-led, interdisciplinary approach to sustainability and focuses on the existential questions of human life, providing a critical perspective on the social, political and economic challenges we are facing today.We are involved in many exciting and interdisciplinary research projects, and have active links with other areas including Political Science, Law, Sociology and Psychoanalysis. We are 7th in the UK for research impact in philosophy (Grade Point Average, REF2021).
