Philosophy and English. Which top universities?

Which top universities offer philosophy and english as a combined degree?

I'm assuming Oxbridge don't, please tell me if i'm wrong.

Thanks.

Oxford do, I think.

Oxford offer:
philosophy, politics and economics (PPE)
philosophy and theology
philosophy and modern languages
physics and philosophy
mathematics and philosophy
psychology, philosophy and physiology (PPP)
English
English and classics
English and history
English and modern languages

sadly no cross-over :frown:

Durham does, possibly York? I'm not sure about the latter though.

You have flexible combined honours at Exeter, so you could apply for it there.

There's probably a lot of uni's that are just really good for one or the other. I'd look into Southampton and Cardiff though.

I've never understood why Oxford don't do Philosophy and English joint. Can anyone give me a possible reason for this?

Do you know why?! That would have been an epic course to get on to.

Their official page says that only Psychology and Philosophy course will be offered, as in the current PPP course you choose 2 disciplines for your study. The Physiology part will be complemented into brand new course, Biomedical Sciences.
I learnt that info just because I wanted to study PPP as well and now I have no chance (unless I started taking Chemistry seriously, hahaha).

I applied for English and Philosophy at Bristol, Warwick, York and Nottingham - so all of those do. Warwick's course is different in that it's not a typical joint honours; it's actually a tailored course which combines the two subjects - you're not just studying half of each degree. I got offers from all four, and I'm now studying it at Bristol. If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.

The people I know doing Philosophy and English at York seem to be really enjoying it. It's slightly odd, though, in that you end up alternating between them, doing English one term, Philosophy the next etc.
