Master in Philosophy [120.0] - FILO2M
The master 120 en philosophie aims to give students advanced skills in philosophy and give them the opportunity to carry out individual, original research.
Philosophy teaching and philosophical research at UCL go back to 1889. Since this time, the Institut supérieur de philosophie has never ceased to explore new philosophical trends and topics, whilst remaining true to what it has already accomplished. It has thus always linked dialogue with tradition and an openness to contemporary concerns. Incidentally, the Ecole louvaniste has always stressed the need to be open to other disciplines (history, theology, exact science, economics, law, etc). This desire for a cross-disciplinary approach is all the better served as UCL is a complete university, which of course helps the link between philosophy and other academic disciplines.
