Joint Honours - Philosophy

Are you interested in thinking for yourself? Do you like problem solving? Do you want to tackle some of the most challenging questions that have fascinated thinkers for centuries, such as: • Do we have free will? • What is consciousness? • How should we live? • Does God exist? • What can we learn from art and literature? Science, literature or history are all equally good preparation for studying Philosophy. The main requirement is a capacity for clear thinking, honesty and discussion.
