Philosophy

about the

Program

The philosophy career of the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) arises in the late 90s, as a programmatic proposal of a group of professors of the Faculty of Human Sciences of the UIS who sought a greater interrelationship between knowledge and sub-disciplines that, from the faculty, would strengthen the academic project of the University. In addition, there was a pretense of raising awareness among Santander citizens of the importance of philosophical studies for the development of a more critical and universal culture. It was initially conceived with a scientific-technological emphasis, but later oriented itself towards research in philosophy, becoming its first purpose.

Field

.

The graduated Philosopher must possess the necessary knowledge that allows him to start in philosophical research, work in interdisciplinary groups, and serve as a Philosophy teacher.

Preparation for research involves not only the critical study of the texts of the philosophical tradition, but also the acquisition of the methodological competencies required for the production of philosophical texts. Training for teaching is offered for those who by vocation practice their profession as professors of philosophy. This training is based on the well-known idea that philosophy cannot be taught but teaching philosophizing.

Due to their continuous development of communicative skills, their critical and reflective sense, and their awareness of commitment to society, the graduated Philosophers from UIS, can also perform, among others, in the areas of journalism, political and social research, consulting, bioethics, business ethics and in the publishing field.

According to the profile of the graduate of the Philosophy program and the academic experiences that all students are expected to have throughout the career, the graduated Philosopher can easily perform in the following fields:

  • Researcher with the ability to carry out academic and research work in areas of philosophy, as well as in interdisciplinary topics.
  • Critical analyst of the texts typical of the philosophical tradition with the ability to produce their philosophical texts on existential, historical, political, theoretical and moral problems, among others.
  • University professor in philosophy, human and social sciences, and other related fields.
  • Critical analyst and researcher in areas such as political and social theory, journalism, editorial work, and consulting in general.
  • The active agent in all areas of society where special communication skills are required, a refined critical and reflective sense, and an attitude of doubt and questioning in the face of dogmas and commonplaces of society.
