The European Philosophy with French MA (Hons) at the University of Dundee invites you to explore the profound questions of existence through critical thinking and rigorous argumentation, with a specialisation in continental philosophy. If you are driven by a desire to understand life's biggest questions and their relevance to contemporary issues, this degree is designed for you. You will delve into key texts from the European philosophical tradition, examining how ideas from existentialism, aesthetics, and the philosophy of art connect with modern culture, technology, and film. This undergraduate programme encourages interdisciplinary study, allowing you to link philosophical concepts with European-based modules from history, politics, or international relations.
You will study this full-time, on-campus degree over four years, engaging with philosophy modules through lectures and tutorials in your early years, progressing to more specialised seminars and independent research in Levels 3 and 4. Your French language studies will complement your philosophical journey, with intensive language classes and lectures on French film, culture, and society. Throughout your degree, you will develop your analytical skills through essays, presentations, and examinations, culminating in a substantial independent research project. You will graduate prepared for diverse postgraduate study or careers in fields such as education, cultural institutions, publishing, and international relations.
