Overview

The School of History and Philosophy at UNSW prides itself in promoting excellence in the study of History, Philosophy and the History and Philosophy of Science. We have a comprehensive range of courses available in each of these study areas and we offer high quality supervision to meet your research needs.

History and Philosophy of Science is concerned with the character, politics, history and broader cultural dimensions of science, technology and biomedicine. Philosophy courses are designed to help you think critically and reflectively, to argue constructively and to form habits of clear and imaginative thought. History is the study of humanity and explores the diversity of human experience, the richness of difference in ideas, culture and institutions.

The School of History and Philosophy also provides core teaching in areas of immediate contemporary relevance such as:
  • Professional Ethics
  • Environmental Studies
  • Americas Studies
  • Archaeology
  • Asian Studies
  • Australian Studies
  • European Studies
  • Jewish Studies
  • Women's and Gender Studies
