Bachelor in European Cultures - Philosophy

What do we offer? A strong specialisation … with a twist!
The Bachelor en Cultures Européennes – Philosophy provides a unique opportunity to combine traditional training in Philosophy with an interdisciplinary reflection on Europe and European cultures.
Two thirds of your courses and modules will be dedicated to your specialisation (120/180 ECTS). The Common Curriculum in European Cultures makes up one third of the credits required to graduate (60/180 ECTS).

It is co-organised by the six specialisation tracks of the Bachelor en Cultures Européennes and engages both students and staff in an interdisciplinary reflection about European cultures, their political and intellectual achievements as well as their shortcomings, and the role of modern Europe in the world today. You will also have the option to develop a second disciplinary focus or specialisation in History, English, French, German, or Luxembourgish Linguistics and Literature as part of your common curriculum.

After you graduate
As a graduate of the Bachelor en Cultures Européennes – Philosophy, you will have the fundamental skills and knowledge obtained inyour specialisation track; on the other hand, your focus on European cultures and on creating links between your specialisation and other fields will equip you with an array of transferrable skills, such as multilingual competences, effective communication, critical and independent thinking, and a flexible and nuanced approach to both problems and projects.
Further Studies and Career Opportunities Choosing what to study also influences your career choices. Depending on your plans for the future, a strong specialisation, and sometimes even a second specialisation, are necessary or advised. This would be the case, for instance, if you were thinking of going into teaching.
• As a graduate of our programme, you will be qualified to pursue a Master’s degree in Philosophy and/or other fields in the Humanities related to Philosophy.
• In combination with a Master’s degree, our graduates also meet the legal requirements for teaching careers in Luxembourg.

A strong specialisation may be key to accessing certain types of careers. However, in some professions, the ability to grasp and analyse unfamiliar issues and subjects quickly and productively is a highly valued skill. Our programme’s interdisciplinary outlook and focus on critical thinking, presentation skills, and active engagement with text and language prepares our graduates for careers in the following areas, among many others:
• the media, journalism, and related professions
• publishing, communication, and public relations
• cultural agencies and administrations
