Philosophy
By studying philosophy, you will develop analytical rigour and the ability to criticise and reason logically. Philosophy offerings include introductory courses, political philosophy, critical reasoning, ethics and bioethics, philosophy of religion, and much more.
Many of our courses can be studied for credit which means they can count towards a recognised qualification.
