Overview

Politics and Philosophy is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Philosophy is assessed mainly through extended written work rather than examinations.

Tuition ranges from £28,900 to £39,900 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
