英国文学和哲学学士（荣誉）学位

英语文学和哲学学士学位课程为您提供专门研究两个大学荣誉课程的机会。许多学生在观察这两个主题之间的相似之处和不同之处时，会发现共同的荣誉既刺激又有益。加的夫的英语文学提供了从盎格鲁撒克逊时代到21世纪整个英语文学的学习途径。课程也不仅限于印刷字样，我们对文学与电影，艺术，音乐，历史，语言和大众文化之间的联系很感兴趣，我们的教学反映了这些兴趣。加的夫的哲学课程有两个相关方面，在罗素集团的大学中很明显。一个是在所提供的模块中特别强调道德，政治和美学。另一个是我们的研究和教学在西方哲学的“分析”和“大陆”两种风格
Why study this courseHow can literature and art inform our understanding of the world What are the social factors shaping who gets heard and who gets to participate in literature and social discourse What are the challenges facing today’s society and how can literature and philosophy help address them You will explore these kinds of questions and many more in our BA English Literature and Philosophy degree, which will equip you to understand, analyse and articulate solutions to complex problems.English Literature at Cardiff has long enjoyed an international reputation for its teaching and research. Our dynamic, flexible degree programme allows you to study literature from different periods and cultures, and across the range of principal literary genres. You will not be restricted to studying the printed word: we are intrigued by the connections between literature and film, art, history, technology, language, and everyday life, and our teaching reflects these interests. You will learn how literature addresses social, environmental, and economic concerns with the aim of creating a better, more inclusive world and developing sustainable solutions for the future of the planet.In Philosophy you will develop a solid grounding in philosophy of language, will also study epistemology, philosophy of mind, and moral and political philosophy, and will have the opportunity to study areas such as aesthetics, feminist philosophy, and phenomenology. In the final year of the programme, you can specialise in your preferred areas of study. You will also come to a deeper appreciation of the implications of philosophical thought, providing you with a clear link between theories and their application.This is emphasised in the final year of the programme, where in a core Philosophy module you will take part in a project to apply philosophical research to develop policies or strategies aimed at solving a real-world ethical or social problem. In the final-year English Literature core module, meanwhile, you will undertake a detailed examination of a single text across a whole semester and to use the experience and knowledge gained as the basis of a public-facing piece of work.Learning and assessmentThroughout the degree, our aim is to support you to become an independent thinker. You will learn through a wide range of teaching methods including interactive lectures, lively discussion-based seminars and workshops. Seminars and workshops offer a rewarding experience to engage critically with the key ideas and readings on a topic. They provide a valuable opportunity to explore ideas and work closely with your lecturers and to learn from other students. You’ll have access to course materials through our electronic learning environment.In this supportive environment, you’ll develop your abilities to closely analyse texts and arguments, evaluate evidence, collaboratively work through problems, construct your own arguments, hone your critical skills, and present your ideas clearly to others.
