On this course you'll engage with key issues at the centre of contemporary debates and gain up-to-date knowledge of philosophy across a broad range of topics.

This course is intended to provide an opportunity for those with no background in Philosophy to do advanced work in the subject and to obtain an Honours-level qualification in it. It's ideal for those wishing to go on to study for the MA in Philosophy as it provides you with the essential grounding needed for this course.

The first part of the course will provide you with knowledge of important topics in Philosophy and you'll develop essential skills to engage critically with those topics. The second part of the course will give you experience in applying research skills to a well-defined problem under the guidance of an expert in the area. To achieve this, you will undertake the exciting and challenging task of preparing a written project based on your own independent research. You'll be supervised by a member of staff throughout to ensure that you remain on track and develop your ideas in the right direction.

Assessment and feedback

Your work will generally be assessed as follows:

• you'll write a 4,000-word essay for most of your modules including the project
• you'll be assessed by exam and essay for the Reason and Argument module
• You will also receive assignments throughout your course which will provide constant feedback on your development and help prepare you for your assessments.
