Joint 2nd in Scotland for graduate prospects

Guardian University Guide 2025 / Times University Guide 2025

Philosophy and film studies are adaptable subjects which open up a flexible range of career options.

A wide-ranging knowledge of the arts, film, philosophical thinking, and culture will allow you to approach problems with a broad frame of reference.

A philosophy and film degree provides you with skills which are an advantage in any professional career. You will be able to identify and explain the underlying issues in all kinds of debates.

You will also learn to identify arguments from varied sources and traditions. This will allow you to offer clear responses to these arguments. You can summarise points of view which are not your own and will learn the self-discipline required for independent research.
