Description
This programme will allow you to combine the study of History and Philosophy. You will study at the Greenwich World Heritage Site, itself a living legacy of British scientific, maritime and imperial history, as well as a thriving multicultural centre of contemporary Britain. The pathway explores a wide range of historical topics, from global events to community history, and from witchcraft to the World Wars. You will also engage with a tradition of thinking about the fundamental problems of knowledge and existence.
You will have an active engagement with the questions that lie at the very core of our existence: questions of truth, meaning, being, power and desire. Of equal importance is the ability to recognise and challenge the fundamental presuppositions underlying a system of thought, and openness to the relations between philosophy and other disciplines.
The aims of this programme are:
- To provide students with a substantial grounding in modern British, European and world history in addition to an understanding of the value and role of philosophy across a range of practices and subjects.
- To nurture the development of open, creative and critical thinkers who are able to apply these qualities of mind in a variety of intellectual contexts
