Concepts, discussions, and stimulating inquiries—philosophy consistently pushes us to question our worldviews.
At Sussex, we blend conventional and unconventional perspectives. You'll investigate unique and surprising methods for tackling philosophy's core dilemmas. You'll get to examine both major schools of thought:
analytic philosophy
continental philosophy.
Throughout your studies, you can opt to:
tackle philosophical problems from diverse angles, such as through non-Western or feminist lenses
customize your degree around your passions, whether literature, history, sociology, or modern languages
broaden your intellectual horizons with our interdisciplinary electives and pathways—a key feature of this program.
In the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, you'll join a welcoming network of students and leading scholars. You can also participate in the University's active Philosophy Society.
Upon graduation, you'll possess sharp critical thinking, analytical reading skills, persuasive reasoning abilities, and quick cognition. These versatile skills prepare you for various professions, including education, journalism, leadership roles, marketing, and communications.
