Bachelor of Philosophy (3311) (061708C)

At The University of Notre Dame Australia, students are taught to think critically and to become knowledgeable and considerate citizens. The aim is to educate the whole person by facilitating engagement with the deeper questions of individual and social life. The Bachelor of Philosophy provides the foundation of a broad and balanced philosophical education. The program covers Ancient, Medieval and Modern philosophy while grappling with the contemporary problems addressed by both analytic and continental philosophy. It takes seriously the Catholic philosophical tradition, which emphasises the importance of considering ideas from all points of view.

The School of Philosophy & Theology, takes a  personal approach to philosophical education. During this program, students will be asked to consider the meaning and purpose of human life in an environment that prioritizes both constructive interaction with students and pastoral care. This is reflected in  small class sizes, time provided to talk with lecturers and the social activities in the School and on the Campus. The student experience will be collegial: a community of persons seeking wisdom together within the context of Western philosophy.
