3. Majoring in philosophy

Students who major in philosophy must take at least eight courses in philosophy (i.e. eight second or third level 6 unit courses), and are recommended to take at least one course from each of the following categories:

• Group I : Knowledge and Reality
• Group II : Mind and Language
• Group III : Moral and Political Philosophy
• Group IV : History of Philosophy

Third year majors are recommended to take the SENIOR SEMINAR (PHIL3810) in their final year, especially if they are considering further study in philosophy, provided that their second year grades reach a good level.

You may also double major, by combining Philosophy equally with any other discipline in the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Social Sciences. This is a favoured and good pattern of work.

You may also major in a cross-disciplinary programme in POLITICS AND PHILOSOPHY (see p. ), or in LINGUISTICS AND PHILOSOPHY (see p. ).
