Philosophical thought is central to the way we see ourselves and the wider world. Our Bachelor of Arts with a Major n Philosophy provides a detailed introduction to the Western philosophical tradition, from the Ancient World right up until the present day. Along the way, you will grapple with some of the thorniest questions in moral philosophy, learn basic philosophical reasoning, and develop your capacity for critical thinking and clear expression.
