Think deeply about the fundamental aspects of reality, value, morals and political ideas as you develop well-constructed, informed arguments to address particular questions across topics including science, history, art and the humanities.
You'll complete two compulsory seminars, focusing on contemporary philosophy research to develop your extended research, writing and presentation skills.
In addition, you'll undertake an honours research thesis that requires you to complete two theses – one for each semester – while working under the guidance of a supervisor to develop and examine your topics.
