Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Philosophy and Sociology (VL53)

BA Philosophy and Sociology allows students to both critically engage with some of the deepest questions human beings have asked across history, while at the same time understand the challenges and opportunities of contemporary society.

From the ethics of killing to the impact of the media, this combined undergraduate degree course allows students to explore human life as both a philosopher and a social scientist, offering a challenging but unique perspective into human behaviour, morality and society.

At the University of Birmingham, students will have access to world-class Philosophy talent in fields as diverse as metaphysics, philosophy of psychiatry, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion and philosophy of mind. Meanwhile, the Sociology side of the undergraduate degree course will allow students to explore the dynamic, unprecedented social changes reshaping the world today and help them understand how social relations and structures influence all aspects of life.
