BA English & Philosophy, 2010 Radio Presenter, Author and Stand-up Comedian

“When I came to Southampton on an Open Day I was blown away - Avenue Campus was beautiful, with the little courtyard buzzing with conversation and excitement.

Genia Schoenbaumsfeld Professor of Philosophy

Her research covers such diverse topics as epistemology, philosophy of religion, Kierkegaard, and Wittgenstein.

Saiyara Uddin

George Tracey

BA Philosophy, second year

In his second year George launched his own radio show, ‘Thinking Clearly with George Tracey’, on the University’s student-run radio station Surge Radio. This progressed to a podcast series, the first of which focuses on Epistemology. George regularly invites lecturers on his show to discuss their research and contemporary philosophical issues.

BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics, second year “I became a student ambassador for PPE and got to talk to prospective students and lecturers about how to shape the degree. It’s great that the university, particularly the Philosophy department, is so responsive to what students want from their degree and open to making changes.”

YOUR COURSES

Studying philosophy at degree level will enable you to explore fundamental concepts and profound questions, while developing the analytical and problem solving skills that will be invaluable for your future career.

ÒÒ Flexible curriculum allows you to pursue your own interests, including interdisciplinary modules and minors ÒÒ High number of contact hours and wide range of courses, with teaching conducted in small groups and delivered by full-time academic staff ÒÒ Research-led teaching delivered by recognised world experts on contemporary philosophy and the history of the subject ÒÒ The latest Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey showed that 97% of graduates from our undergraduate programmes were in work or further study just six months after graduation.

Our undergraduate programme is modular. In each year, students take eight modules. Single honours students take at least six self-contained modules in Philosophy, while combined honours students take at least three Philosophy modules and three in their other subject. The remaining two modules can be taken from Philosophy, from the student’s other subject, or from outside their degree subjects. We place great emphasis on small group and one-on-one tuition, which we provide from the first year of study, and pride ourselves on the broad and flexible curriculum we offer. Individual modules listed in this brochure may vary from year to year, but these examples demonstrate some of the different topics you might explore as part of your degree.

How will you learn? You will be assessed by more than just essays and exams. Depending on the modules you choose, you will work in teams, give presentations, submit group projects, design posters, develop websites, and manage larger research projects such as dissertations. Each student is assigned a personal academic tutor, a leading academic who provides help and support at every level of study. Throughout the degree, we impart advanced skills in reasoning, research, communication, and analysis, skills which, alongside the support offered by the University’s career service, will prepare you for further study or a future career.

Support If you choose to study here you will join a friendly student group that is small enough to feel like a real community but large enough to ensure there is plenty going on. You can get involved in a wealth of events, including talks by visiting philosophers organised by the department, and activities arranged by the student-led Philosophy Society. Our approachable, friendly staff take pride in maintaining excellent relations with students, and will give you the support you need to succeed in your degree. You will benefit from having your own personal academic tutor, who will guide you through your degree from beginning to end. We also run a mentoring programme, allowing new students to meet those who have been here a bit longer while they settle in. Our Staff-Student Liaison Committees ensure that you have a direct input into the running and design of your course.

Subject highlights INDUSTRY PLACEMENT Through the University’s Year in Employment scheme, you can choose to spend a year gaining valuable experience by working in industry.

EMBARK ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

What if you had the chance to see the world, enhance your studies and boost your career opportunities all at the same time? We can make that possible. By choosing to study abroad as part of your course, you can make your time with us even more inspiring, exciting and rewarding.

The exchange opportunity to study in Hong Kong immediately stood out to me. Hong Kong’s unique British heritage fused with Eastern cultures and traditions make it a unique and fascinating country.” Thais Santos Paolo BA Philosophy and Sociology;

in 2017/18

Whether as part of an international exchange, European exchange programme, or via a summer school, you can immerse yourself in a different culture while enriching your academic experience.

Choosing your destination Our long-established network with a range of partner institutions worldwide gives our students the option of spending a year, a semester or even a few weeks in a different country. You can choose from a range of worldrenowned universities in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, North and South America, as well as Europe.

Studying in Hong Kong

Supporting you on your travels

BA Philosophy and Sociology student Thais Santos Paolo spent a year studying in Hong Kong.

Studying abroad through our University means you will benefit from options for financial support, in the form of free travel insurance, scholarships and fee discounts.

“The East meets West vibe was a strong appeal. The opportunity therefore to live, learn and experience a culture which is both similar and at the same time so different from my own, was one I could not pass up. Moreover, Hong Kong being an important business hub, not only in Asia but worldwide, drew me in even further and it culminated in my decision to spend a year studying Chinese and Marketing.”

To help prepare you for the experience, we also offer a free or subsidised language course to give you a head start as you take on the world. On your return, we will prioritise your application for a place in halls, easing the worry of finding accommodation when you come back. You may also be eligible for student finance loans or non-repayable grants, depending on your personal circumstances. With the support we give and the opportunities on offer, all you need to bring is your thirst for adventure.

Fees for international medical students on the BMBS programme are still to be determined at the time of publication. Prospective applicants can find the latest information at www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/fees

*Annual increases, which are also subject to UK Parliament approval, will apply to institutions demonstrating high-quality teaching and are likely to be in line with inflation. The measure of inflation to be used is Retail Price Index (RPIX) (excluding mortgage interest payments). It is anticipated that increases will apply at the commencement of the second and subsequent years of the degree programme.

We also offer a range of bursaries designed to help UK undergraduate students in the most financial need.** For more details and up-to-date information, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/ bursaries

EPQ Our research-led approach to learning is reinforced in the value we place on an Extended Project Qualification. As the first university to formally recognise the EPQ in its admissions offer scheme, we have always recognised that skills gathered through independent project work and research will enhance and prepare you for your university experience.

On most of our courses applicants offering an EPQ will be made two offers – our typical offer based on 3 A levels, and an alternative where, in exchange for an A or A* in the EPQ, we will reduce the A level requirements by one grade. For example, a typical offer of AAA would be made alongside an offer of AAB, plus an A in the EPQ. We also provide free online support on developing EPQ research projects at www.futurelearn.com/courses/ research-project

Equivalent to half an A level, an EPQ requires students to complete a selfdirected and self-motivated project on a topic of their choice.

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. It provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. This is provided for information purposes only. Applications made to the University should be made based on the latest programme information made available by the University. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the prospectus. The information contained in the prospectus, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

Find out more: www.southampton.ac.uk/sb/ campuses

The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectuses, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill. We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary to: – alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable; – make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements); – suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University); – make changes to our statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students; – close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).

However, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. The University’s procedures for dealing with programme changes and closures can be found in our Quality Handbook at www.southampton.ac.uk/quality If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the ‘Change’), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity. a. If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change. b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either: i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student. c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that students should receive the educational service expected. All changes will be managed in line with our Student Protection Plan.

2. Changes to services or facilities

The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other losses

The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1b. above following a Change are in addition to any statutory rights of cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be

enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Student Protection Plan As a registered provider of higher education with the Office for Students, we have a Student Protection Plan (SPP) in place, which sets out what students can expect to happen should a course or campus close. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that students can continue and complete their studies, or can be compensated if this is not possible. Full details of the plan can be found at www.southampton.ac.uk/protection-plan

Force majeure The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure. In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. This policy is reviewed at least annually. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Before you apply please see subject websites listed for subject-specific terms and conditions. Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/ admissions.html Further information about or clarification of these procedures is available from the Admissions team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ; enquiry@southampton.ac.uk

Data protection During the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018. Please also see our Privacy Notice for Applicants at www.southampton.ac.uk/about/governance/ policies/privacy-notice-applicant.page
