Philosophy: Global and Comparative Perspectives

This bachelor’s programme is one of the very few programmes worldwide to offer philosophy perspectives from around the globe.

Studying the philosophies of India, East Asia, and the Arab world alongside those of the West will give you a global context for thought. You will learn how to challenge unquestioned patterns of thought, and how to develop new perspectives on current issues. While acquiring broad knowledge in this discipline and developing academic and personal skills, you will develop your critical thinking skills. Philosophy graduates typically enter into professions such as: teacher or researcher, policy advisor or consultant for governmental or NGOs, journalist, editor or publisher, communications consultant or cultural entrepreneur.

Why Philosophy: Global and Comparative Perspectives?

  • Broaden your horizons with strong academic competences.
  • Small tutorial groups, complementing your lectures.
  • Excellent career prospects in a globalising world.
