Master Philosophie

Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions concerning knowledge, existence, ethics, logic, and the nature of reality, examined through careful argumentation and engagement with historical and contemporary texts. Students in this field typically study the history of philosophy, from ancient to contemporary thought, alongside specialised areas such as ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, and philosophy of science or language. Coursework generally emphasises close reading of primary texts, the construction and evaluation of arguments, and clear written and oral expression of complex ideas. Graduates commonly pursue further academic study, teaching, or careers that value analytical and communication skills, including publishing, public administration, journalism, and roles in cultural and educational institutions. The Master Philosophie is offered by Université de Picardie Jules-Verne, located in Amiens, France. It is a master's degree lasting two years, taught in French, with a start date in September, based on the standard academic calendar. Annual tuition is 250 EUR. Study in philosophy at this level typically involves detailed engagement with major philosophical works and debates, as well as the development of original argumentation through essays and a research project. Students often choose an area of specialisation, whether in moral and political philosophy, the philosophy of mind, or the history of philosophical ideas, while continuing to build broader skills in critical reasoning and textual analysis. Because the discipline trains students to analyse complex problems, construct rigorous arguments, and communicate clearly, philosophy graduates are often well prepared for careers requiring these transferable skills, even outside strictly philosophical or academic settings. Some graduates continue toward doctoral research and teaching, while others apply their training in fields such as publishing, communications, public policy, or education, where clear thinking and writing are valued.
