Undergraduate Admissions

Philosophy course requirements

No particular subjects at A Level (or equivalent) are required for the Philosophy course, however, a combination of arts and science subjects is considered useful. Studying Philosophy at A Level does not in itself confer an advantage. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a capacity for clear-headed logical reasoning and abstract thought.

For Hughes Hall, A Level (or equivalent) Mathematics or Physics is recommended, but not mandatory, for Part II of the course.

Check College websites for College specific requirements. See also Entrance requirements and our Subject Matters leaflet for additional advice about general requirements for entry, qualifications and offers.
