Graduate Diploma of Philosophy

The Graduate Diploma of Philosophy is ideal for students interested in developing philosophical methods of enquiry. This program is a compelling introduction to the fascinating world of philosophical thought—from ancient times to the present day—and proves useful in any career that requires razor sharp thinking and clear expression.

Why study this degree?

The Graduate Diploma of Philosophy is designed to facilitate skills associated with studying philosophy and to provide a firm foundation for independent research. The program also provides an opportunity for students to explore subject areas pursuant to their own interests, such as history, theology, business, education and law.

The program comprises courses suitable to the personal and professional needs and interests of students from a variety of backgrounds, including teachers of religious education. Career opportunities for philosophy graduates are extremely varied and range from corporate roles to policy development for government, political research or investigative journalism.
