The study of philosophy provides students with rich and horizon-broadening contexts for thinking through complex principles and practices, enabling them to think deeply and critically about fundamental issues concerning beliefs, values, including indigenous beliefs and values, law, religion, ethics and politics. In addition, philosophy helps hone critical skills in logical reasoning, reading comprehension, analytical thinking and writing proficiency.
