Philosophy and Literature University of Warwick

Overview

The Philosophy and Literature (BA) degree offered at the University of Warwick gives you strong training in both subjects as well as great flexibility in how you focus your studies. Year One includes an interdisciplinary core module that introduces students to joint study of Philosophy and Literature, and in Years Two and Three there is one core module and a huge array of options, including modules that combine the subjects. You have the opportunity to do a jointly supervised dissertation or independent project on a combined topic. You take module options in both departments in all years, and there is a free third year option in any subject.

Key Facts

You may choose to apply for an intercalated year, spent either studying abroad or on a work placement. This extends the duration of your degree to four years, with your third year spent abroad or on placement, and will be reflected in your degree qualification (i.e. BA Philosophy and Literature with Intercalated Year).
