Course Overview

Pursue your ambitions in history, philosophy, and theology with the BA (Hons) Philosophy and Literature at University of Warwick. Based in Coventry, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time structure. Both philosophical and literary works ask us to reflect deeply on human experience, but often using interestingly different methods. Our Philosophy and Literature (BA) degree gives you a chance to engage with the wide range of methods and human capacities – thought experiment, dialogue, argument, storytelling, conceptual analysis, imagination and feeling – that contribute to inquiry and understanding. The course gives you strong training in both subjects as well as great flexibility in how you focus your studies. Home/uk fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 90% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £29,000 within three years, a 100% continuation rate, and 70% of graduates in employment or further study.
