Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Our future depends on people who can challenge traditional thinking and find creative solutions for problems. That’s what you’ll learn to do in the Bachelor of Arts.

We’ve redesigned the Bachelor of Arts so you can get the most out of this program. Step outside the classroom and get real world experience with an internship. Travel overseas and get credit towards your degree with a study abroad program. Find a meaningful community service project. At Western, you’re not just learning how to make a difference in the world. You’re doing it.

Philosophy

Philosophy has always asked the 'big questions' about our lives. These are questions, for example, about the limits of our knowledge, the best way that humans can live together, how we understand the world around us, and what is the good life.

A philosophy major will enable students to develop particular skills and attributes - such as clear thinking, capacities to assess arguments and values, sound understanding of important philosophical views that have always been essential to university scholarship, and which continue to be valuable for graduates in both public and private life.
