What will I learn?

By examining life's fundamental questions, philosophy helps to shape the way we think about the world. Exploring questions such as these develops your creativity, rationality, and critical thinking skills, enabling you to think carefully about theoretical problems. You'll learn to apply this knowledge to practical situations in the real world, from artificial intelligence to human creativity. We firmly believe that philosophy is for everyone, and we're dedicated to providing an inclusive and accessible philosophy course. BA(Hons) Philosophy offers a unique and innovative approach to studying philosophy, standing out for its practice-based philosophy, interdisciplinary integration, and future-thinking perspective.Our course equips you to think critically and creatively. You'll be encouraged to question your own preconceptions and cultural biases to foster a deeper understanding of the world. We understand that philosophy isn't just about abstract ideas it's about real-world impact, and our collaborations with the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and Bristol Centre for Synthetic Biology have provided previous students with invaluable experiences.Duration- Three years full-time four years sandwich
