Philosophy and Psychology

By combining these two unique disciplines you'll gain an understanding of how:

- our minds develop and function

- we think about our lives, relationships and society

You don't need to have formally studied either subject before - beginners with enthusiasm and a desire to learn welcome.

Philosophy
The first year gives you a solid foundation in the essentials such as ethics, reasoning and logic.
From then on you're free to choose from our unusually wide range of optional topics.
You can:
- explore crime and justice, race and gender, politics and religion

- examine emerging areas like environmental and social philosophy

- investigate global philosophical traditions - Western, Indian and Chinese

Psychology
Learn about the structure of the brain, as well as the perceptions, thoughts, feelings and actions of people.
We'll give you a thorough grounding in key theories and concepts of:
- biological

- cognitive

- developmental

- social psychology

You'll also examine how these apply in settings such as the education, criminal justice and mental health systems.
