BA (Hons) Philosophy and Politics with a Placement Year

Politics and philosophy are deeply interconnected – one deals with how we organise society, the other with the fundamental ideas that shape our world. At UEA, our BA Philosophy and Politics with a Placement Year degree equips you to analyse complex social challenges from both perspectives. On this version of our Philosophy and Politics course, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a work placement, gaining invaluable real-world experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice.

Working alongside world experts, you'll tackle pressing contemporary issues like democratic reform, environmental justice, and media regulation. This combination of disciplines will develop your ability to think critically about political systems while understanding the philosophical principles that underpin them. Our flexible programme allows you to engage equally with both subjects while tailoring your studies toward your specific interests.

Through dynamic lectures and interactive seminars, you'll refine your ability to construct compelling arguments and defend your vision for social change.
