What it isPhilosophy is the study of fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, ethics, and how we think and argue. You'll read classic and modern texts, learn to analyze arguments carefully, and develop your own position on big questions. It suits people who enjoy abstract thinking, debate, and aren't looking for a vocational credential but rather want to sharpen their reasoning and understand different worldviews.This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
