The study of philosophy involves thinking about some of the big questions we ask during our lifetime. You'll explore a vast range of influential ideas, from the ancient philosophers whose works are preserved in manuscripts from India, China and Greece, to cutting-edge contemporary work on pressing ethical issues, the nature of mind, and artificial intelligence.
By studying Philosophy, you'll develop conceptual and analytical skills, along with the ability to interpret the bigger picture-qualities that are highly valued in fields like business and public service, particularly in strategic planning.
