Philosophy encourages you to consider universal questions about human behaviour. In Sociology, you look at how theyÕre dealt with now Ð in our legal, political and cultural systems.

Your studies of both subjects take a progressive approach. YouÕre taught by expert researchers who influence ground-breaking debate. And you join a community that is philosophically and politically engaged.
