What is a Philosophy degree? Philosophy addresses some of the most fundamental and difficult questions. It teaches you critical reasoning like no other discipline. ÌýWith a Philosophy degree, you will develop the ability to use logic, reason and ethics to solve problems on and off the job.
Career possibilities in Philosophy include lawyers, bioethicists, public policy analysts, journalists, teachers, mental health counsellors, and health care and education civil service managers, researchers, and social workers.
