What you studyEnglish StudiesHistoryHuman GeographyInterdisciplinary Studies
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.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
