MA (Hons) Philosophy in Dundee United Kingdom | University of Dundee

Philosophy examines human existence through analytical reasoning and debate. If you often ponder life's profound mysteries and inquiries, philosophy might be your calling.

We focus on continental (European) philosophy, guiding students through seminal works from the European intellectual tradition, featuring influential modern thinkers like Nietzsche, Sartre, Deleuze, and de Beauvoir.

Our approach demonstrates philosophy's relevance to current affairs and practical concerns by:

analyzing films and artistic works
examining significant scientific and technological advancements
engaging in ethical dilemmas
demonstrating how centuries-old texts remain applicable to modern political contexts
During Levels 1 and 2, you'll build foundations in both ancient and contemporary philosophy while exploring core concepts in ethics, epistemology (the study of knowledge), and metaphysics (the study of reality).
