Pursuing a Bachelor of Philosophy at The University of Notre Dame Australia invites you to engage in profound contemplation of timeless human questions. This program challenges you to scrutinize your core beliefs, principles, and way of life while enhancing analytical skills and cultural awareness through Western philosophy's historical impact. The three-year Philosophy degree fosters intellectual growth through collaborative learning environments that promote dialogue and self-examination, available for full-time or part-time study. Our curriculum cultivates critical thinkers who develop into well-informed, thoughtful members of society, addressing life's essential personal and communal inquiries.
This Philosophy degree establishes comprehensive foundations in philosophical studies, spanning Ancient, Medieval, and Modern thought while engaging with current issues in both analytic and continental traditions. It honors the Catholic philosophical approach that values diverse perspectives. Philosophy students can complement their studies with Majors or Minors in various fields including Theology, History, English Literature, Politics & International Relations, Behavioural Science, or Social Justice.
