Specific Skills
Any student meeting the requirements set forth by law may be accepted onto the degree in Philosophy, so long as the number of available places is not exceeded. However, given the particular nature of these studies, students wishing to undertake this degree should be extremely interested in learning about different lines of thought, enjoy reading and writing, be open to human thought and the expression of foreign cultures, which are often quite different to western culture. You should be ready to express yourself well, and possess a critical and analytical approach, which, from a scientific and cultural stance, is based on your ability for abstract thought and synthesis. You must be well-organised and consistent in your work
