Our Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Politics program is one of the specialized tracks available within the BA Social Sciences curriculum. This pathway is perfect for students seeking academic flexibility or wishing to explore particular themes like race, class, criminal justice, or religion through multiple disciplinary lenses. The program's adaptable structure allows you to study a minimum of three subjects during your first year, then focus more deeply on your chosen areas of interest in subsequent years. The curriculum covers six core disciplines: Criminology - Examining the root causes and impacts of criminal behavior. Philosophy - Exploring fundamental questions about knowledge, morality, and existence while developing critical thinking and ethical reasoning skills. Politics - Analyzing systems of governance, power structures, and political institutions. Quantitative Methods - Applying data analysis techniques to interpret social phenomena. Social Anthropology - Comparing diverse global societies and cultural practices. Sociology - Investigating social structures, inequalities, and patterns of human interaction.
