BA (Hons)English and Philosophy

... United Kingdom
... Nottingham Trent University

Course Overview

The course is both historical and contemporary in its focus and aims to show how philosophy can only be fully understood within a wider literary context, and that literature inescapably touches on issues of the highest moment.

The course investigates the nature, significance, and contemporary relevance of a range of literary and philosophical texts across time and space, exploring their globality and contemporary positioning about mental health, environmental, and other sustainability agendas.  You will engage with both ancient and modern texts in ways that demonstrate that the study of English Literature and Philosophy remains of pre-eminent significance about the world's most pressing challenges.

With this focus to the fore, the course will offer a fully interdisciplinary approach to English Literature and Philosophy to analyze and explain the complex interrelations that exist between the logical, ethical, social, political, institutional, and technological dimensions of texts and meanings, with a specific emphasis upon how literary and philosophical skills are fast becoming key to unlocking the employability potential of undergraduates in the Humanities for future high skilled professional roles.
