This course gives you the opportunity to study two distinct disciplines: philosophy, which questions everyday assumptions and enquires into the foundations of other forms of knowledge; English literature, which involves the close, analytical study of poetry, fiction and drama. You will learn the fundamental principles of logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and political philosophy, and study English literature in its full extent and diversity from the medieval period to the present day, including work on individual authors, topics, and genres. You will also be able to explore your own interests by choosing from a range of stimulating options and research-led special subjects. The undergraduate curriculum of both halves of the course is designed in such a way that you can gain full advantage from the research expertise of individual members of staff.
