About BA English Language And Philosophy in University of Birmingham

At Birmingham, you will have access to world-class talent in philosophical fields as diverse as metaphysics and epistemology, philosophy of language and mind, ethics and ethical theory. In your undergraduate Philosophy studies, you will explore the great minds of history and the present day, both learning what they thought and engaging with them critically. By studying Philosophy as a Joint Honours degree with English Language, you'll gain a thorough appreciation of the technical aspects of the English language and its social and political context. Finding out how a language works and how societies communicate, combines a unique intellectual challenge with significant practical potential. You'll also have the chance to use new resources, such as computer-held databases of linguistic data and you'll be encouraged to embrace theoretical and technological advances in the study of language.
