Supplementary Training

The Master’s Degree in Philosophy plans for supplementary training based on candidates’ entry profiles. There are four supplementary training courses worth three credits each, which are solely for students admitted to the programme who do not have an undergraduate degree in philosophy (or equivalent).

The academic committee shall set which and how many of these four supplementary training courses students must take, depending on their entry profile (2 or 3), the number of credits and subjects in philosophy on their previous university courses, as well as the cover letter submitted when applying for the master’s programme.

The supplementary training shall be taken within the first teaching month on the programme and must be passed in order to sit the viva.

Students who need to take this training must also take the 60 ECTS credits required to be awarded the master’s degree.
