Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

The study of philosophy involves thinking about some of the big questions we ask during our lifetime. You will explore a vast range of influential ideas, from the ancient philosophers, whose works are preserved in manuscripts from India, China and Greece, right down to cutting-edge contemporary work on pressing ethical issues, the nature of mind and artificial intelligence. Learn to distinguish between good and bad arguments, and make informed recommendations on contentious issues.

Studying Philosophy allows you to explore a vast range of influential ideas, from the ancient philosophers (whose works are preserved in manuscripts from India, China and Greece) right down to cutting-edge contemporary work on pressing ethical issues, the nature of mind and artificial intelligence. Because Philosophy teaches you the critical thinking skills fundamental to success in every field, the Philosophy major makes an excellent combination with more vocational programs of study including Law, Medicine, Computer Science, Business and Psychology.
