Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Philosophy (V500)

Philosophy means the love of wisdom: it is the search for truth and understanding, whether about ourselves, society, the world or reality itself. It is a wide-ranging academic discipline, incorporating the study of ethics and morality, politics, human nature, knowledge and the universe.

The Bachelor of Arts Philosophy program at Swansea introduces students to major philosophical theories and debates across different traditions and cultures. It will equip students with the ability to reflect on questions of fundamental importance (“How should we live our lives?”; “What is a just society like?”; “How can we know what exists?”); to think creatively and logically; and to debate issues in a clear and persuasive manner.
