Overview

Philosophy gives you the opportunity to carefully question, think about, write about, and discuss fundamental aspects of your existence. At the same time it fosters essential skills in analysing, constructing and evaluating arguments, critical reading, problem solving, and independent thinking.

Key Features

The Philosophy degree is offered by the School of Art at University of Kwazulu Natal. This School is a diverse and yet cognate set of schools and disciplines. It brings together the major languages of the region and a range of language and arts disciplines to generate creative, critical and transformatory responses to teaching, research and university service, outreach and the development of international links.

It will promote greater collaboration between the languages, linguistics, applied language studies, media studies and creative/performing arts that will generate more professionally-oriented programmes. It will also enhance existing coherences and synergies in teaching and research.
