What the college says

This is a fascinating philosophical, ethical and theological course which focuses on some of the biggest questions that human beings can ask. Philosophy Why is there something rather than nothing? Is our universe real? Are you free to make choices or are they pre-determined? If you think you have an answer, know an answer or want to find an answer, then Philosophy is clearly for you. Philosophy is challenging ideas and debating your opinion. It asks important questions such as is God dead? Are religious experiences real? Is the universe infinite? Ethics Do you enjoy debating ethical issues? Do you find yourself aggravated by ideas you see in the media? Are you ready to dispute other peoples' opinions? Are you prepared to risk having your views challenged by others? If so, Ethics will provide opportunities to debate issues such as abortion, animal testing, sex, euthanasia and terrorism. Ethics is engaging with the most highly debated issues in the world today and confidently making moral conclusions.
