Metaphysics, logic and epistemology

Metaphysics explores the fundamental nature of reality—existence, identity, time, causation, and the ultimate. Epistemology and hermeneutics examine the big, basic questions: what is it to know reality? What is truth or fact? How is meaning generated? Build critical thinking skills to help you construct sound arguments.

Skills for any profession

The skills you’ll gain from a degree in philosophy can be transferred to just about any profession. You’ll develop clarity of thought, first-class analysis and research skills, excellent communication skills and an openness to new ideas. Our graduates have gone on to apply these skills in the fields of law, business, education, psychology and counselling, government and research.
