ABOUT
Course description
This degree explores our dependence on language from different perspectives. In linguistics, you’ll learn about the nature and development of different languages. In philosophy, you’ll develop your understanding of the philosophy of language, as well as other key philosophical areas such as ethics, metaphysics and logic. You’ll also tackle real-world issues, examining topics like global justice, climate change and feminism through a philosophical lens.
As a dual honours student, you’ll divide your studies between the School of English and the Department of Philosophy. Choice and flexibility are at the heart of our teaching, which means you can pursue and develop your own interests. At every level, there is a wide variety of modules to choose from. You will be taught by world-leading experts from both departments.
You’ll be required to take a minimum number of credits within both departments each year, but how you choose to divide your modules after this is up to you: split your modules evenly between English and philosophy, or choose to weight your degree in favour of one subject or the other.
In your first year, you’ll receive a solid foundation across both disciplines. Your core linguistics modules will teach you the analytical techniques and concepts you need to become a successful linguist (linguistic theory, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and research methodology), while your philosophy modules will introduce you to some of the central areas of philosophy (ethics, political philosophy, theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, history of philosophy and ancient philosophy).
In your second and third year, you can build on this foundation however you choose – both departments offer an extensive range of optional modules, which means you can focus on the areas that interest and inspire you the most.
Research is central to the student experience here in Sheffield. All our teaching is informed by the latest findings, and all our students have the opportunity to carry out their own research project as part of their degree. Outside of your degree, there are many ways to develop your interests, insights and critical faculties. For example, our award-winning student-led volunteering project Philosophy in the City introduces school children to philosophical ideas they can apply to everyday life.
Modules
Over the course of each academic year at Sheffield, you will need to study modules that equate to the value of 120 credits. Some of these credits will be taken up by our core modules, which are designed to give you the breadth of knowledge and ways of thinking necessary to the degree being awarded.
For your remaining credits, you will be able to choose from an extensive range of optional modules, allowing you to shape your degree to the topics that interest you.
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
Linguistics
A maximum of 60 credits can be selected from Linguistics modules, which includes 20 credits of core modules. At least 20 credits must also be used on an optional Linguistics module.
Philosophy

Department of Philosophy
We pride ourselves on the diversity of our modules and the high quality of our teaching. Our staff are among the best in the world at what they do. They’re active researchers so your lectures and seminars are informed, relevant and exciting. We’ll teach you how to think carefully, analytically and creatively.
Our staff and students use philosophy to engage with real world issues. You will be able to use what you learn to make a difference in the community, through projects like Philosophy in the City, an innovative and award-winning programme that enables students to teach philosophy in schools, homeless shelters and centres for the elderly.
Our students run a thriving Philosophy Society and the only UK undergraduate philosophy journal. Our Centre for Engaged Philosophy pursues research into questions of fundamental political and social importance, from criminal justice and social inclusion to climate ethics, all topics that are covered in our teaching.
Philosophy changes our perspective on the world, and equips and motivates us to make a difference.
The Department of Philosophy is based at 45 Victoria Street at the heart of the University campus. We’re close to the Diamond and the Information Commons, as well as Jessop West, which houses our fellow Arts & Humanities departments of History, English and Languages & Cultures.
