The B.A. in Philosophy is for students interested in issues pertaining to ethics, human existence and experience, and the value of cultural knowledge. Philosophy exposes and clarifies the meaning of concepts that we take for granted such as “truth”, “reason”, “beauty”, “right”, “duty”, “love”, “sex”, identity, meaning/end of life, God, appearance and reality. Critical reflection is at the core of the programme. Graduates of the programme are expected to be lifelong adaptable learners, critical and analytic thinkers, capable researchers and communicators. This programme provides a basis for postgraduate degree study in Philosophy and related subject areas.
