2. Description of the Programme
This degree programme combines the study of Philosophy and History, enabling you to develop analytical and reasoning skills while deepening your knowledge of history across different time periods and countries.
Studying Philosophy will give you the opportunity to discuss long-standing questions about the nature of knowledge (how do we know what we know?), science (does science provide us with a special kind of knowledge?), reality (does the world out there really exist?), ethics (how should we act?), art and beauty (who decides what counts as beautiful?), the mind-body relationship (how can the brain produce the mind?), the meaning of life (why is there something rather than nothing?) and more.
From the beginning you will be encouraged to develop your own views on all these topics, and to assess other philosophers’ take on them. Studying philosophy will teach you to think rigorously, to defend your views in a clear and consistent way, to understand the why and what-for of different points of view, and ultimately to develop a sharp, analytical and open mind.
History at the University of Exeter gives you the tools you need to study the history that interests you. It develops a broad foundation of skills and knowledge in the first year, builds on this in the second year as you begin to become an independent researcher, and culminates in the opportunity to produce highly specialised work in the final year, including the study of a particular subject in depth. There is a huge amount of module choice available to you, covering time periods from the Roman Empire to the early twenty-first century, and topics as diverse as migration and mobility, indigenous peoples in Latin America, the history of health and its politics, women in society, the Vikings, magic and witchcraft in early modern Europe, and histories of material things.
3. Educational Aims of the Programme
1. To offer you an excellent Honours-level education in Philosophy and History.
2. To ensure that graduates from the programme are useful, productive and questioning members of society.
3. To produce graduates who are grounded in the main themes of Philosophy through a combination of modules which develop a deep understanding of some pervasive and problematic features of the world and of ourselves.
4. To produce graduates who are grounded in the main themes of History through a combination of both broad and detailed focuses on particular aspects of the past, study of a range of time periods, and study of different geographical areas; who understand the methods which historians use to study the past; and who can analyse the development of past societies.
5. To develop your competence in the specific skills required in History and in Philosophy, and in core academic and personal and key skills.
6. To offer a wide range of choice within the programme of study, insofar as this choice is consistent with the coherence and intellectual rigour of the degree.
4. Programme Structure
The programme is studied over three years and is university-based throughout that time. Study is undertaken in three stages, one for each year of study. The programme is divided into units called modules. Modules have a credit rating of either 15 or 30 credits; 15-credit modules last for one term and 30-credit ones usually for two, although the Varieties of History are intensive 30-credit modules taken over one term. Each stage comprises 120 credits.

Assessment at stage one does not contribute towards the summative classification of the award.
Under the University’s rules on modularity, students may take up to 30 credits per year in another department.

1. Show familiarity with philosophical ideas about the nature of society and the social sciences | In explicit terms, 1 and 2 are developed through lectures, seminars and essay work in PHL1002A and PHL1002B; 3 and 4 through similar methods and strategies in PHL1006, PHL1005A, PHL2010a, PHL2016, PHL2015, and PHL2018; 5 and 6 through similar methods in PHL1013; and 7 through similar methods on PHL2018.
9, 10 and 11 are developed at stage 1 in the History core modules, though lectures, seminars, and written work, forming the backbone of all History modules taken at all stages, with the level of complexity and nuance developing according to stage. The choice of coursework assignments in all modules develops 12 in students from the outset of their programme. 13 is a requirement of all History modules, but there is particular primary source emphasis developing in complexity as the student progresses through the stages of the programme. Students are given clear guidelines about 14 in the Philosophy and History Undergraduate Handbook, are instructed in such matters in the History Foundation, and are expected to demonstrate it in all modules. 15 is developed through the Sources and Skills modules and may be developed in other modules, particularly, but not solely, some of the elective modules in History, Economy and Culture, which are open to Philosophy and History students. | Coursework 1-15 Oral presentations 1-15 The criteria of assessment pay full recognition to the importance of the various skills outlined. |

The skills in 41, 42, 43 and 45 are developed to some extent in all modules, through interaction in seminars and in discussion with tutors about essay work, and in response to criticism both collective and individual. 44 is developed through the through the Stage 3 Dissertation, which has a single end of year deadline. | These skills are assessed either formatively or summatively in all History modules. 40 is assessed explicitly on PHL1005A and forms a basic tenet of examination elsewhere in the Philosophy side of the programme. 44 is covered by the Dissertation in either subject.

8. College Support for Students and Students' Learning
Personal and Academic tutoring: It is University policy that all Colleges should have in place a system of academic and personal tutors. The role of academic tutors is to support you on individual modules; the role of personal tutors is to provide you with advice and support for the duration of the programme and extends to providing you with details of how to obtain support and guidance on personal difficulties such as accommodation, financial difficulties and sickness. You can also make an appointment to see individual teaching staff.
As an undergraduate or postgraduate taught student in the College of Social Sciences and International Studies you will be allocated a Personal Tutor at the commencement of your studies. In normal circumstances your Personal Tutor will remain your tutor throughout your study programme. Your Personal Tutor is normally available through scheduled office hours, but should also see you as a matter of course three or four times a year (depending on your year of study); these meetings may typically commence soon after registration.
You should feel that you are able to approach your personal tutor for academic support in a wider sense.
Library, ELE and other resources provided to support this programme:
The Library offers you core services for learning and research. Whilst the various locations house a large collection of materials and services, many of our resources are available online through this website http://as.exeter.ac.uk/library/ for you to use at home, work or wherever you are located for your study. Each discipline has a subject librarian on hand to help you to find resources and we also work with tutors to digitize reading lists for inclusion in the Exeter Learning Environment (ELE).
Exeter Learning Environment (ELE) is used throughout the University to make course materials available online. You will be able to access module information, presentations, handouts, reading materials as well as interacting with other students and your tutors.
