About this course

English and Philosophy both explore and explain human existence. The great themes of literature and debates about language run together with the big issues of philosophy:

  • what are the struggles, conflicts, and challenges of human life?

  • how should we navigate the social, moral, and personal struggles that make up the drama of living?

    Philosophy

    You'll explore traditional topics such as ethics and philosophy of mind alongside emerging areas like environmental and social philosophy.

    English

    We cover the full range of English - language, literature, linguistics and drama from Old English to the present day.

    You'll study each subject separately but equally. The range of modules in both of these subjects at Nottingham is especially diverse - you'll be able to follow your interests wherever they take you. It also offers you scope to follow a theme by choosing modules that complement each other and look at the same topic in different ways. There's lots of reading involved! Also plenty of opportunities to develop your own ideas and work with others. An ideal degree to help you say what you mean and mean what you say.
