| What it is | Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, ethics, and how to live well. You examine ideas through reading, writing, and discussion rather than labs or fieldwork. The co-op option lets you apply philosophical thinking to work placements in fields like policy, law, or non-profits, which sets this apart from a straight philosophy degree. | A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one. | A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on. | A combined degree that lets you study both arts and commerce side by side, rather than picking one. You take courses in subjects like history, English, or environmental studies alongside business, accounting, and management courses. This dual approach suits students who want business skills and professional preparation but also value deeper knowledge in humanities or social sciences. |
