Undergraduate / Philosophy Major

Philosophy with History BA

The central aim of the History minor is to enable you to acquire knowledge and understanding of the human past and to reflect critically on the complex, and often contradictory, information about the past that is available to us now.

Philosophy with History BA

The Philosophy with History BA enables you to investigate two major traditional methods of viewing the world. In your Philosophy major, you’ll learn about the way people have thought, through rigorously analysing language, critically assessing historical perspectives of the constitution of the world, and going on to create arguments around classic and modern texts with precision and consistent accuracy. In History, you will study the way people have lived, through reflecting on the complex, and often contradictory, information about the past that is available to us now.
