Careers - Philosophy
A degree in philosophy or theology and religion equips you with a broad set of transferable skills sought by employers.
You will develop the ability to:
- read critically, think independently, discuss constructively
- articulate complex arguments and lines of reasoning
- form judgements from conflicting evidence
- carry out sustained independent research
- manage your time and work to strict deadlines.

Experience counts
Whatever career you develop - teacher, lawyer, or even professional philosopher or theologian - we'll develop skills to make you "workplace ready".
On course
Our Work Placement module will give you direct experience of a workplace, developing hard and soft skills. A part-time professional placement in an external organisation is backed up with classroom reflection and support from our Careers service.
Off course
I wouldn’t have secured either of my internships without the experience I gained from the Digital Marketing Academy and the support of the Careers and Employability Service.
