Philosophy and Sociology - BA (Hons)

University of Birmingham

Tackle philosophical questions and develop your own critical judgements on the social changes that shape the world today. From the ethics of killing to the impact of the media, this combined undergraduate degree course allows you to explore human life as both a philosopher and a social scientist, offering a challenging but unique perspective into human behaviour, morality and society.

- Flexibility in your optional modules - the structure of this course allows you to specialise more as you progress through your degree, so you can study the topics that interest you most. - Study contemporary issues – at Birmingham, the focus is on philosophy with real-world relevance, so you'll be delving into current topics such as mental health, sex, applied ethics, sustainability and more. - Our Sociology department will provide you with the knowledge and skills to critically engage issues such as globalisation, the changing nature of work and the family, gender roles and sexuality, multiculturalism, the impact of the media and information technologies, and new forms of politics.
