Degree in
Philosophy
The degree in Philosophy is considered fundamental in and for Western culture because its graduates contribute to the improvement of society (thought, science, order, system, etc.) with a permanent critical reflection on everything that constitutes the sphere of the human and social, from what is knowledge itself and the conditions and ways in which it develops, to everything that confers human being and action, linked, for example, to what is an anthropological, political, ethical and linguistic reflection, etc. Philosophy combines all of this with a deep knowledge of the history of ideas, that is, of the process in which humanity has been able to create those ideas and principles that configure it.
All students who meet the legal entry requirements may be admitted to the Bachelor's degree in Philosophy.
However, given the intrinsic characteristics of philosophical studies, students wishing to pursue this degree should possess a keen interest in knowledge, reading, and writing. An attitude of analysis and reasoned criticism, both from a cultural and scientific perspective, combined with a certain capacity for abstraction and synthesis, would be desirable starting points for pursuing this degree. Activities related to philosophical study, in turn, require organization and perseverance, as well as motivation for the appropriate and reasoned expression of thought.
The Degree provides the fundamental competencies, skills and learning outcomes for the training of future professionals in the following fields:
Teaching: In both public and private schools. In the case of public schools, graduates must have completed the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Teacher Training for Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training, and Language Teaching.
Research: Research master's degrees in Philosophy are available directly without having to complete additional training courses.
Leisure/Culture: Design, development, editing, and critiquing texts, catalogs, and other publications for publishers, media outlets, and publishing services.
Consulting: Training in Practical Philosophy enables consulting in various areas, whether as part of Research Ethics Committees, Hospital Ethics Committees, Ethics Commissions or political institutions (city councils, ministries, etc.) and social institutions (companies, associations of various kinds, NGOs), human resources offices in companies, participation in intercultural mediation processes, bioethics committees, whether responding to queries from these institutions or from individuals, ministries, etc.).
Institutional Projects and Consulting: The Curriculum includes various subjects and courses that provide a solid foundation in democratic systems, human rights, and the exercise of citizenship. This allows for the design and implementation of institutional and social projects (municipalities, NGOs, unions, etc.) related to these topics. It also enables the provision of consulting services on these topics to public institutions (city councils, departmental governments, etc.) and private institutions (foundations, neighborhood associations, companies, etc.).
Marketing/Sales/Communications: Press release writing and media relations. Public relations work and representation before other companies. Event planning.
IT/New Technologies: Consulting on software content, websites, and new technologies in the cultural field. In recent years, the development of AI has opened up a new field for consulting on AI ethics and the analysis of its implications for educational and knowledge processes.
Consultancies: Both in the public and private spheres, philosophy professionals are in demand for issues related to mediation and the resolution of human, political and social conflicts.
Another avenue for professional development is self-employment through the creation of cultural property and activity promoters or foundations. Finally, it is important to note that graduates can hold various positions in public organizations and institutions, whether at the local, regional, national, or European Union levels.
