Philosophy
Philosophy is arguably the oldest university subject and has the widest field, with philosophers asking fundamental and important questions about values, culture, science, religion and society. As such Philosophy sits at the heart of any university, engaging with and enriching other programmes. In fact, at Winchester, Philosophy has a special role pledged to pioneering values-driven education and asking big questions about human existence.

“I love being a Philosophy student because I get to have a lot of interesting conversations and explore new ideas and the course doesn’t feel linear, there’s a lot of room to explore your own unique perspectives and you aren’t expected to hold certain views. I find the course exciting because I feel like everything I study is relevant to the world in some way. And I am always challenged and presented with new, interesting ideas that allow me to explore other ideas further and kind of cascade my knowledge.”
