Arts and Social Sciences
The Department of Philosophy has a proud history of teaching students their discipline and training them to think critically, rigorously and creatively. In Philosophy we will address a broad range of topics, including the nature of consciousness and the self, the basic nature of reality and existential questions about how one ought to live and how society should be structured. In studying these topics Philosophy aims to develop your general cognitive abilities, no matter which career you choose to pursue.
