Overview

Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Philosophy The University of Essex BA Philosophy will feed students' intellectual curiosity and challenge their thinking. Students will acquire the skills required to dig deeper into ideas and question received wisdom. They’ll rigorously examine the most fundamental questions about human life. Essex takes philosophy back to its roots in everyday existential, social, and political problems. They embrace the relevance of philosophy to other forms of inquiry - political, cultural, legal, medical, aesthetic – and bring this to bear on urgent issues in public life, such as the controversial issues raised by mental health legislation or public policy regarding end of life care. Essex covers a wide range of topics from the meaning of life to capitalism and its critics, from ancient philosophy to current trends in European thought; and they are strong in areas of: ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of religion, and European philosophy. Essex is involved in many exciting and interdisciplinary research projects, and has active links with other areas including Political Science, Law, Sociology, Psychoanalysis, and Art History. The Essex School of Philosophy and Art History has been ranked in the top 20 in the UK for research excellence.
