This combined degree programme will appeal to those who are interested in majoring in Philosophy but would also like to learn more about a different discipline. You can choose to study English, Theology or Computing as minor options. The degree will be 75 per cent Philosophy courses, and 25 per cent courses from your minor option.

Philosophy with English: Philosophical themes and questions can be found in almost any work of literature; indeed many early literary works were actually works of philosophy. This combined degree will help you to better understand the relationship between literature and philosophy. You may like to consider why authors used literature as the vehicle to explore philosophical questions; for example, why did the Romantic poets explored Longinus’s concept of the sublime through poetry, and how did American literature derive its ‘Transcendental’ school from Kantian philosophy? Studying English will also enhance your ability to understand and analyse a variety of texts.

Philosophy with Theology: Philosophy and Theology are generally considered to be related disciplines, and studying them together will enable you to gain a new perspective and greater understanding of each subject area. This will be particularly useful to those with an interest in philosophy of religion - the philosophical scrutiny of claims of religious believers and those made on behalf of religious traditions, particularly those related to Christianity. You will be able to explore questions such as the nature and existence of God, whether religious belief is reasonable, the impact of religion on individuals and society, and the compatibility of divine omniscience and human freedom.

Philosophy with Computing: There are three subject-specific pathways within the Computing minor programme, which are reflected in your qualification.

Philosophy with Computing (Computer Science): Studying Computer Science will enhance your employability as computing skills are valued in many jobs. It will also complement your Philosophy studies as both disciplines involve formal logic. The computing courses cover topics such as algorithms and data compression, which will appeal to those with an interest in mathematics and computation.
Philosophy with Computing (Computing and Cognition): This pathway emphasises the cognitive aspects of computing. Cognitive science is a subject area that takes human cognition as its starting point, and looks at how knowledge in this area can be applied to computing, and vice versa. Creativity and artificial intelligence are part of this broad area of study, which will complement your philosophical studies in areas like creativity and the study of aesthetics. The adoption of artificial intelligence also raises questions of ethics, which could be explored through your Philosophy studies.
Philosophy with Computing (Computing Information Systems): Computing Information Systems offers subjects that are broadly related to electronic commerce and information technology. Having a practical knowledge of information systems, as well as the analytical and reasoning skills developed through Philosophy, will give you a wider range of transferable, employment-related skills. This pathway will also better enable you to consider the ethics and social issues related to computer technology.
