BSc Philosophy and Politics A-levels AAA (ABB†
) IB 36 (32† )
This course combines philosophy with the study of politics and international relations, providing a valuable skill set ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. For philosophy, you will study units including Introduction to Philosophy, Logic and Realism and Normativity, and write an extended essay.
In politics you will study the politics of individual countries and governments and the relationships between states, communities and individuals. The first year includes four compulsory units which will ensure you have a solid grounding in politics. You will have greater choice as you progress through the course and in your final year, this includes a range of units closely linked to staff research interests and thus unique to Bristol. Units cover subjects such as political theory, international relations, UK politics, US politics, development and gender. There is a strong emphasis on research skills, with a compulsory unit in the first year and the possibility to complete a dissertation in the final year.
You will also have the opportunity to spend half a year studying abroad at a partner university.
