Over each year, you must take eight modules, or the equivalent, including at least three modules in each subject. You take four modules each semester. Our Curriculum Innovation Programme offers our students the chance to take optional modules outside their core disciplines. This allows you to personalise your education, to develop new skills and knowledge for your future. In your final year you will consolidate your knowledge and skills as a philosopher and musician by completing either a Philosophy dissertation or a Music research project.

What can you do with a Philosophy and Music degree? Almost anything! That's because Philosophy and Music teach you not what to think, but how to think. This is, as a Times report on Philosophy put it, "the ultimate transferable work skill". Our students have gone on to succeed in a dazzling range of careers, including business, law, medicine, journalism, teaching, IT, the civil service, advertising, film and television, and finance. The 2013 Destination of Leavers of Higher Education (DLHE) survey found that 90% of our Philosophy graduates were in work or study six months after finishing their degree, with 80% of those in full-time employment occupying professional or managerial roles. You can find out more about some of our graduates on the university's Alumni pages.
