| What it is | You study philosophy — how people think about knowledge, ethics, and what's real — alongside political science, which examines how governments work and why societies organize the way they do. This joint program lets you explore big questions through both lenses at once, rather than choosing one. It suits students who want to understand both abstract ideas and practical politics, and who prefer flexibility over specializing in just one discipline. | A philosophy program teaches you how to think critically about fundamental questions: what is knowledge, how should we live, what makes something right or wrong, and how does society work. You'll study philosophy alongside politics and social policy to understand both abstract ideas and their real-world impact on people and institutions. This suits people who enjoy debate, reading complex texts, and asking "why" about things others take for granted. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
