About the course

Are you eager to engage in independent thinking and problem solving? Philosophy invites you to explore profound questions that have intrigued thinkers for centuries, including: How can we truly know anything? Do we possess free will? What constitutes consciousness? How ought we to live? And does God exist?A background in maths, sciences, literature, or history provides excellent preparation, but the essential requirement is a talent for clear, methodical reasoning. Notably, corporate headhunters frequently seek out philosophy graduates for their skills.
