Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy and Ethics

A three year honours degree in philosophical enquiry, covering ethical theory, applied ethics, philosophy of mind and religion, argument analysis and a final dissertation.

Philosophy trains reasoning and argument rather than a trade, and applied ethics has genuine commercial application in health and corporate settings.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy and Ethics is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the philosophy and ethics degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the philosophy and ethics degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the philosophy and ethics degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the philosophy and ethics degree does not support a family move.
