ObjectivesDesigned for those students in whom philosophical and literary interests are closely combined. It is not simply a ‘joint degree’ in the traditional sense, but is also an attempt to explore areas of common interest. An effort is made to accommodate the special interests and gifts of individual students. Warwick has pioneered the exploration of the relations between Philosophy and Literature for many years. The activities of the Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts provide a intellectually exciting context for students following the undergraduate degree course.
Entry requirementsGeneral university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
