If you possess the academic capability for degree-level studies but fall short of the entry criteria, a foundation year serves as an ideal stepping stone – preparing you for entry into Year 1. The curriculum is designed to boost your confidence and equip you with the necessary skills for your chosen degree program. Alongside Academic Practice modules that enhance your study techniques for higher education, you'll explore various humanities subjects. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you'll advance directly to Year 1 of your selected honors degree.
Career opportunities
Successfully finishing the foundation year ensures seamless progression to Year 1 of your chosen degree program.
Philosophy education focuses not on what to think, but how to think, cultivating skills highly sought after by employers. These include clear, logical, and creative thinking, articulate verbal and written communication, and rigorous critical analysis.
A BA (Hons) in Ethics, Religion and Philosophy offers diverse career possibilities, including positions in civil service, education, non-profit organizations, media, finance, and human resources. Additionally, you can pursue further studies through our MA Philosophy program.
