Master of Science [M.Sc] [Economics of Money, Banking and Capital Markets] From University of East Anglia

Examine your own beliefs and put them to the test as you investigate the views of some of the most important thinkers in the history of Western thought.

Philosophy involves being open to new and different responses to familiar and unfamiliar questions. If you ever find yourself thinking about big questions beyond everyday experience - questions that may never have a single, final answer - then you would probably enjoy studying philosophy.

Dundee is unique in Scotland in offering a specialisation in Continental Philosophy through our degree in European Philosophy - where you'll encounter the most exciting thinkers over the last 100 years (such as Nietzsche, Sartre, Foucault, and Deleuze).

We explore how philosophy is important to real-world concerns and contemporary issues by:

- drawing on films and artworks in our lectures

- discussing important scientific developments

- debating controversial ethical issues

- looking at how texts written three hundred years ago can be relevant to political situations today

You will be encouraged to make links between philosophy and other disciplines, such as politics, literature, film, the environment, psychology, and computer science. Specialist modules and independent study options will help you to explore philosophically the topics of special interest to you.

Careers

A philosophy degree provides you with intellectual and perceptual skills which are an advantage in the pursuit of any professional career.Ê

Studying philosophy will allow you to:

• Identify and explain the underlying issues in all kinds of debate.
• Read closely and become sensitive to arguments from a variety of sources and traditions.
• Offer clear and rigorous critical responses to arguments.
• Summarise and assess points of view which are not your own.
• Learn the self-discipline required for independent research.

Employers recognise that these skills are highly transferable. They mark out independent and thoughtful individuals.Ê

As well as continuing to postgraduate study, recent graduates have gone on to work in publishing, social work, education, librarianship, the music industry, local councils and the civil service.
