This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or International Bachelor of Arts (iBA) in Philosophy of Law, offered full-time or part-time at the Keele Campus, with entry in Fall, Winter or Summer for both first-year and upper-year students. Students build a grounding in philosophy and apply it to debates in law, legal reasoning, constitutions, punishment, individual liberty and international law, examining the moral and political values underlying legal institutions. The curriculum develops critical thinking, reasoning and argumentation skills through the philosophical analysis of legal concepts rather than professional legal training. The program suits students interested in the philosophical foundations of law who want a pre-law or law-adjacent humanities degree rather than direct paralegal or law-school-specific coursework. Graduates commonly pursue further study in law, philosophy or public policy, or roles in policy analysis and advocacy.
