Philosophy will introduce you to key ideas in areas including epistemology, ethics, logic and metaphysics.
The purpose of philosophy is to learn how to evaluate theories and arguments, how to construct your own arguments and how to communicate ideas in a clear and powerful way.
Through your studies, you'll develop and use analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills, which can be used in endless careers and roles.
You'll also study the philosophy of areas like art, science, education and politics, and learn about different research methods and analysis, which you'll use across your degree.
