Overview

You’ll be able to engage with sources and debates from a great range of different cultures and time periods and you’ll be encouraged to think more critically and clearly about the world around you. This will help you to develop your powers of argument, critical thinking, and conceptual analysis through the search for answers to the ultimate questions.

Careers and employability

This is a major part of the curriculum. Key transferable skills are emphasised and there are opportunities to develop links with organisations and potential employers. Joint honours courses develop a wide range of skills. These include written and oral communication skills, critical analysis and a variety of IT skills. But you’ll also become more self-motivated, be able to work independently and in teams, and develop excellent time management skills.

Philosophy and History graduates have gone on to forge successful careers both within large, well known organisations and the small to medium sized companies that constitute much of the UK economy. Recent graduate roles have included law, publishing, marketing, PR, retail and finance.

Some graduates choose of the History and Philosophy (Hons) course from Nottingham Trent University to progress to further study, either to continue their research within Philosophy or History, or to gain more direct vocational qualifications such as museum and heritage management, teaching, or tourism.
