You will be introduced to a wide spectrum of philosophical approaches, from ancient thought through to existentialism and conceptual analysis.
Students attend lectures and tutorials and undertake independent study. They are also encouraged to attend public lectures by eminent philosophers and other formal and informal academic events organised by the School of Philosophy. If you are pursuing the single subject degree you will also undertake at least one major research project.
Assessment is through a combination of end-of-trimester written examinations, class tests and continuous assessment.
Students may continue to graduate study at MA and PhD level in universities in Ireland and abroad, from Paris to Oxford to Harvard.
You may apply to study abroad for either a trimester or a year through the Erasmus programme or on a non-EU exchange.
UCD has over 200 Erasmus partners in Europe and an increasing number of non-EU exchange agreements with universities in the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and elsewhere. Please visit the Erasmus section by clicking on the International Office link at the top of this page.
The year abroad takes place when you have accumulated at least 110 credits and satisfied any subject prerequisites, adding a fourth year to the BA programme and turning it into a BA International.
