Bachelor of Arts Philosophy

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Melbourne

Program Overview

Philosophy is the study of the most fundamental aspects of reality and value. Every area of inquiry and endeavour from art and history through politics and economics to biology and mathematics generates philosophical issues about our world and our place in it. Work in philosophy involves the creative, critical task of constructing, clarifying and comparing ideas. We dig into the fundamental assumptions beneath our everyday views, to see how they hang together, how they can be improved, or how we might have reason to prefer one over another. We learn to take conflicting views seriously, to clarify imprecise concepts and to synthesise new positions.
