Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Social Science - Philosophy

Western Sydney University

This double degree program is designed for students whose interests span the Arts and Social Sciences. It will give you the skills and versatility to work across a range of academic and professional disciplines, including the opportunity to develop global perspectives and communication skills. You need to include a Social Science Major, so you can design your own academic program within the Bachelor of Social Science program structure. This qualification in Social Science is then combined with an Arts major.Philosophy has always asked the ‘big questions’, for example, about the limits of our knowledge, the best way that humans can live together, how we understand the world around us, and what is ‘the good life’.Our philosophy major enables you to develop particular skills and attributes – such as clear thinking, capacities to assess arguments and values, and sound understanding of important philosophical views – that have always been essential to university scholarship and which continue to be valuable for graduates in both public and private life.
