Year 12 Politics and Philosophy taster day

Students will explore a range of philosophical and political perspectives on Freedom through lectures and seminars that investigate questions such as: What is freedom? Does freedom require equality, or is it impossible to be both free and equal? What is sovereignty and what are the links between sovereignty and democracy? Does UK membership of the European Union necessarily involve a loss of sovereignty, or can sovereignty be maintained through democratic accountability? Students will also have the opportunity to meet and talk with current students at the University.
