The Philosophy with French MA (Hons) at the University of Dundee invites you to explore fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and reality, while simultaneously developing advanced proficiency in the French language. This undergraduate degree is ideal for intellectually curious students who are drawn to critical thinking, rigorous argumentation, and the rich intellectual traditions of both philosophy and Francophone cultures. You will engage with key philosophical concepts, from metaphysics and epistemology to ethics and aesthetics, and critically analyse how these ideas intersect with contemporary issues and artistic expression. This course offers a unique interdisciplinary foundation for those seeking to understand the world through diverse lenses.
You will study this programme full-time on campus over four years, immersing yourself in both academic disciplines. Your philosophy modules will provide a grounding in ancient and modern thought, with opportunities to specialise in areas such as existentialism and the philosophy of art, drawing on lecturers' interdisciplinary research. Concurrently, you will undertake French language modules each semester, progressing from beginner to advanced levels, or intensive study if you have prior experience. This integrated approach ensures you will graduate with a sophisticated understanding of philosophical inquiry and a high level of French language competence, preparing you for diverse postgraduate studies or careers in international relations, education, or cultural exchange.
