You may also take units outside the department in your first year.<br/><br/>In your second year, you complete your foundation in philosophy with mandatory units and conduct more detailed study from ethics to the philosophy of language.<br/><br/>In your final year, you may work for an independent study unit on almost any topic in philosophy, writing an extended essay in consultation with a supervisor.
