Opportunities

From the very start of your training, you are grappling with the various questions and positions that human beings have expressed to reflect on their existence, their relationship to others and to the world.

You discover philosophy through history and thematically.

The historical approach studies philosophical questions in the successive versions given by the great thinkers, from Greek origins to contemporary times.
The thematic approach isolates and treats major problems: reasoning in logic, action in ethics, human reality in psychology and anthropology, ultimate reality in metaphysics.

To develop your sensitivity to other perspectives, you approach different disciplines: languages (ancient and modern), the history of civilizations, religious phenomena, sociology and psychology. The study and deepening of these disciplines develop your adaptability and versatility.

The track you choose enables you to cross philosophical questioning with other fields of science and culture:

The "Letters, art and history" track: to approach philosophy through its history and cultural environment;
The "Social sciences and communication" track: to master the social and economic aspects of contemporary philosophical problems;
The "Exact sciences" track: to orient your philosophical training towards the questions posed by the sciences and reflect on their anthropological, ethical and political implications;
The "Double bac philosophy - droit": to obtain the bachelor's degree in law in addition to the bachelor's degree in philosophy.

At the end of the bachelor's cycle, through authors' courses and in-depth questions seminars, you learn to formulate a philosophical problem. You also develop your skills in research, discussion and argumentative expression of your thought.

Your bachelor's degree concludes with a term paper that encourages you to philosophize for yourself.

You're off to a good start

you have an acute interest in the fundamental problems of the human condition;
you have a real aptitude and taste for critical thinking, reading and argumentative discussion;
you felt at home in French in secondary school.

Teaching methods

Courses, practical work, seminars, participation in research activities... every effort is made to develop your skills of analysis, reflection and argumentation.

Thanks to exercises and personal work, you'll learn to master the subjects, implement philosophical methodology and discover the working tools essential to approaching texts and the dissertation.

The course timetable ensures that you have ample time for personal work, conducive to the readings essential to the acquisition of philosophical methodology. These readings are facilitated by direct access to the philosophy seminar library, which is very comprehensive in the history of philosophy, anthropology, political and social philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics...

All theoretical courses are enriched by commented reading of articles or extracts from philosophical works.

Most specialty courses are taught in dialogue, seminar-style. This allows you to check your understanding of the material and refine it. In the same vein, rehearsals and quizzes are offered regularly.

Success aids

Succeeding in a year of study at university involves many challenges.

To help you meet them, UNamur supports you in developing your disciplinary, methodological and human skills... with the support of numerous professionals.

Preparatory courses , individualized help... Discover the schemes set up for your training.

Discover how to succeed in philosophy

After the baccalauréat: the master's degree

The bachelor's degree in philosophy gives automatic access to the master's degree in philosophy organized at universities in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation or abroad (under conditions set by the organizing universities).

If you chose the "Social Sciences and Communication" stream during your bachelier, you can obtain exemptions when subsequently enrolling in bachelor of political science or of bachelor of information and communication at UNamur.

In addition, UNamur organizes a certificate of complementary studies in philosophy to delve deeper into certain philosophical issues such as the major ethical and social questions of our technological world, questions of meaning and existence, the philosophy of science....

Finally, UNamur's Philosophy department participates in the master of specialization in film cultures and thoughts (co-organized with Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles) as well as to the master of specialization in political philosophy and theory (co-organized with ULB and ULiège).

Les métiers des philosophes

Philosophers' professions

A rich and varied range of skills

Job offers rarely mention the title "philosopher". Yet, contrary to more than a few preconceptions, the skills developed through studies in philosophy prove particularly valuable in the world of work.

A survey of philosophy graduates in Namur highlights the strengths that philosophers bring to the professional world. Training as a philosopher develops analytical and reflective skills that, while offering ease of argumentation, enable a global apprehension of complex situations. This aspect of the philosophical approach is a definite asset, both in job interviews and in decision-making on the job. Philosophers are also required to develop a strong critical mind: they don't just "do"; they "think what they do". Other skills highlighted in the survey include a broad general knowledge and intellectual curiosity, all tools that enable philosophers to learn quickly and thus evolve professionally.

A significant proportion of philosophy graduates continue their initial training with a complementary degree (in management, international relations, development, etc.) or intensive language training (English, Dutch), which can facilitate professional insertion in specialized sectors of activity.

Key figures in the professional life of philosophers

Philosophy and teaching

Many philosophers share their knowledge, their passion and train their students' argumentative skills. They teach morality and religion in secondary and higher education, as well as other courses in the humanities and social sciences.

Philosophy isn't just theory: it also presents itself as a "pincer" that enables us to critically apprehend other knowledge. In this sense, philosophers are also those who can "learn to learn". It's hardly surprising, then, that we find them as trainers in the continuing education sector, for example in literacy training.

Note, moreover, that teaching outlets are expanding with the creation of a "Philosophy and Citizenship" course in formal secondary education.

Philosophy and research

Some graduates pursue research activities after graduation, often supplemented by supervisory tasks, in Belgium or abroad. Universities and public funds (e.g. FNRS) finance the completion of a doctorate. Doctors of philosophy can then go on to teach at university.

Philosophy and society

Bioethics, sustainable development, public health, citizenship education: these are all topical issues in which philosophers are asked to intervene, and which go to the very heart of the question of the meaning of life and the purposes of our society. The role of philosophers is generally that of advisors to those responsible for making decisions in these various areas (hospital or mutual insurance company directors, political leaders, industrial federations, etc.), or even trainers.

Philosophers have the critical hindsight and communication skills that enable them to act as mediators in the management of human conflicts. They can make this their profession. Within the corporate world, philosophers can evolve as human resources consultants (selection and recruitment, career coaching).

Philosophers can also be found working in various capacities within ASBLs or NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), notably as coordinators or communications officers. We also note the possibility of working in the field of journalism and also in various public administrations.

Philosophy and creativity

One way of entering the professional world can also be to create one's own place. In other words, the absence of a box such as "profession: philosopher" drives some to propose new structures, and thus invent their own profession.

A number of graduates have successfully translated their passion for philosophical reflection into a professional activity. Examples include running philosophical workshops for children, setting up "cafés-philo" bookshops, and working as a writer...

A social life to develop

When it comes to landing a first job, a candidate's personality is sometimes as important as a university degree... hence the importance of keeping one's curiosity alive throughout one's studies, and building a rich social life, for example by getting involved in the associative world. Open-mindedness coupled with an acute critical sense will make philosophers people fit to take on important responsibilities in working life.
