Philosophy and Theology with Foundation Year - BA (Hons)

University of Oxford

Are you a student from the UK interested in studying Philosophy and Theology, but your personal or educational circumstances mean you are unlikely to achieve the grades typically required for Oxford courses? If so, then Philosophy and Theology with Foundation Year might be the course for you.\ \ Philosophy and Theology with Foundation Year is part of the Foundation Year in Humanities and introduces you to ways of thinking about fundamental questions of belief, knowledge and meaning. You will begin with a broad exploration of the Humanities before moving towards more focused study that prepares you for your chosen degree pathway. * Through your work, you will develop skills in analysing arguments, interpreting texts and evaluating different perspectives. * You will explore how philosophical and theological approaches can be used to examine ideas about religion, ethics and human understanding. * In your final term, you will complete an extended essay on a topic of your choice, allowing you to develop your interests and build your skills in independent research and writing. * Alongside your subject studies, you will take the Preparation for Undergraduate Studies course, which supports your development in academic writing, communication and independent study.
