Course Description
Go beyond rote learning to gain the critical, analytical and intellectual skills that make employers sit up and take notice.
Studying philosophy at Hull means doing philosophy: engaging with current issues and emerging philosophical challenges. In doing that, you'll build and use the skills and methods that only a training in philosophy can provide.
- Gain key skills and attributes to face a challenging and ever-changing world.
- Take part in fortnightly debates with staff, fellow students and eminent visiting experts.
You'll grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of reality, consciousness and what it is to be human. You'll debate the big issues of the day, from cutting-edge genetics to artificial intelligence. And you'll apply your burgeoning skills and knowledge to contemporary real-world problems.
The foundation year is ideal to boost your skills and knowledge if you don't quite meet our academic entry requirements.
