La Trobe University

Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Philosophy seeks the answers to fundamental questions about human life and inquiry. Questions such as: How do we know something for sure? Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body? Does God exist? How is morality related to happiness? Do animals have rights? What would a better society look like? Do films or novels help us to think better?

In the Philosophy major, you’ll develop reasoning skills, and learn how to think for yourself rather than relying on someone else’s authority. You’ll reflect on your views – and give reasons for them – and understand and evaluate other positions and arguments. Since philosophy is such a broad subject, it combines well with other areas of study such as science, law, psychology, media, politics and history.

About La Trobe University

La Trobe is a university known for making a positive difference in the lives of our students, partners and communities. We will become an even more valued and relevant university because of the way we respond to their needs in this time of great local and national crisis.

Our aim is to emerge as a more resilient, future-focused and necessarily more efficient institution that will thrive in a post-COVID world by being more sharply focused on the needs of our community, and by playing to our strengths in teaching and research.
