Program details

Overview

This program awards a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy through a 90-credit, full-time curriculum completed over three years at the University of Sherbrooke's main campus, with admission in the fall and winter terms. Students choose between a specialized stream focused entirely on philosophy or a stream that combines philosophy with a minor or certificate in another field. The core curriculum covers applied ethics, logic, and an introduction to philosophy and to written argumentation and methodology, building into optional coursework spanning philosophy of language, political philosophy, and epistemology, among other areas. International applicants are admitted only into the specialized stream from abroad, though they may switch to the minor-or-certificate stream after arriving on campus if they meet that stream's own admission conditions. It suits students seeking a broad grounding in philosophical reasoning, either as a stand-alone specialization or paired with study in a second field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows Universite de Sherbrooke's general first-cycle admission condition set out in the Reglement des etudes. Applicants choosing the stream that includes a minor or certificate must separately satisfy the admission conditions of that minor or certificate. All candidates must show a very good knowledge of French, either through an exemption or by reaching CEFR level B2 (score of at least 400 out of 699) across the four fundamental competencies. International applicants are admitted from abroad only into the specialized stream; admission into the minor-or-certificate stream is only available after arrival on campus.
