It also asks whether such questions have answers at all. In pursuing such thoughts, we emphasise connections between philosophy and other subjects in the social sciences and the humanities. The most recent fruit of our interdisciplinary approach is the Centre for Research in Critical Thinking, the first institution of its kind in the UK, and our new joint degree in Culture, Philosophy and Politics. For part-time study, please contact Nick Everitt, also at the address below. That's why in every course unit at UEA, part of your time is spent in a seminar or tutorial group, which gives you the opportunity to explore your own ideas, and to debate the issues with the lecturer.
Students learn how to reason better and how to engage in critical analysis.
Such skills are highly regarded by employers, opening the door to a wide range of occupations, including computing, politics, journalism, and marketing. After further study, some philosophy graduates become researchers and lecturers. At UEA, we are accustomed to linking different disciplines, because philosophy is taught in the same School as politics, sociology, and economics. Since 1990, UEA philosophers have published 19 books and over 130 articles on a huge variety of philosophical topics. A range of new unitscovers Eastern philosophy, feminism, philosophy and film, and more.
