Understanding the human condition and how we got to where we are: these are the puzzles you’ll try to unravel in a Philosophy and History degree. Study with us and you’ll pursue your enquiries in a rigorous and stimulating intellectual environment, where you’ll discover the distinct and complementary contributions that philosophy and history make to our understanding of human life and experience. Throughout your degree you’ll be invited to examine how history and philosophy interact with each other. In year two you’ll complete our compulsory keystone module, Philosophy of History and Politics for Second Years. Here you will draw on the skills, methods and concepts that you have learnt as both a philosopher and an historian. You can choose to follow it up with the complementary module in the following year, Philosophy of History and Politics for Third Years. In addition to any compulsory modules, you’ll be able to choose from our full range of History and Philosophy modules in your second and third years. All are designed to develop your skills as a thinker, as an historian, as an acute critic and writer, and simply as a person with views and a voice of your own. During your time with us you’ll work with leading lecturers and professors in philosophy and history, whose work is discussed the world over. You’ll be listening to them as they develop new ideas, and helping them to identify new ways forward. **Course Structure** **Year 1** In your first year you’ll study a well-balanced mix of philosophy and history modules. You will take two modules on the history of philosophy: Classic Readings in Philosophy, and Modern Readings in Philosophy. In history, you’ll take Introduction to Medieval History and Introduction to Early Modern Studies. In the Spring semester you’ll choose one philosophy and one history module. **Year 2** By the time you enter your second year, you will have discovered where your best talents lie and you’ll be equipped to choose from the wide range of philosophy and history modules on offer. You will choose six modules, at least two but not more than four of them from each of history and philosophy, allowing you to shift the balance a little towards one subject or the other, according to your interests. Many of our second year modules, covering topics such as existential philosophies and reformation to revolution, will allow you to explore the connections between philosophy and history. You will also take our mandatory keystone module, Philosophy of History and Politics for Second Years, which will run for the first time in 2019, in which you will explore these connections in more depth. **Year 3** In your final year you’ll choose two advanced modules from history (or one larger special subject module) and two from philosophy. The modules will involve more independent study, allowing you to take the subject to a greater depth. You’ll also have the option to study Philosophy of History and Politics for Third Years, which complements our second year keystone module and will take your study of the connections between the two disciplines to the next level. In addition to the main modules we offer across the spectrum of philosophy and history, your final year will give you the option to undertake either a dissertation with one-to-one supervision, or a special subject, in which you and a few fellow students will work with a tutor on an area of mutual interest. If you choose the dissertation route, your subject can be philosophical or historical in focus, or a question that combines the two. **Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
