Requirements for a Dijon degree program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important requirement to succeed in a degree program at the French partner university is sufficient language proficiency in French<\/strong>. Language proficiency can usually be demonstrated by having had at least 5 years of French in school, which was completed with a minimum grade of \u201csufficient,\u201d or 5 points. Accepted alternatives are a higher education entrance qualification from a French-language school, the French baccalaur\u00e9at<\/i>, or the Abi-Bac (simultaneous achievement of the German Abitur<\/i> (Abi) and the French baccalaur\u00e9at<\/i> (Bac)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dijon course of studies is right for you if you are excited about the opportunity to spend half of your time studying in France and getting to know the country, people, and culture better. Additionally, if you enjoy new experiences, are enthusiastic about the French language, and have the courage to show initiative and self-organize, you have everything you need for this course of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for the subject of Philosophy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the specialist literature is written in English. Therefore, your English should be good enough to read and understand these original texts. English is the recognized language of science for the subject, but you do not have to provide proof of your English skills before or during your studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a good command of a second foreign language and Ancient Greek or Latin, this would allow you to understand ancient and medieval texts in their original language. You can take Ancient Greek and Latin courses during your studies. You should have a good grasp of the German language, both written and spoken, and be able to read and understand older forms of the language. You should also enjoy reading and composing texts and have a solid understanding of how to structure arguments in both written and spoken language.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

The Dijon program always consists of two subjects (an academic major and a minor), which you can combine to suit your interests or career goals. One of your two subjects must be French (either as your major or your minor). You will obtain your Licence <\/i>in your academic major. Further information can be found at the Dijon Office at JGU.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a student in the Dijon program, you will spend half of your studies abroad. You will complete any local examinations under the same conditions as the local students. The other half of your studies will be spent at JGU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

One of the characteristics of Philosophy as part of the Dijon program is the broad coverage of the history of philosophy as well as the analysis of theories and positions. In France, you will study Histoire de la philosophie<\/em>,Philosophie morale et politique<\/em>, Philosophie g\u00e9n\u00e9rale<\/em>, M\u00e9taphysique<\/em>, History of Philosophy, and the works of specific authors. In Germany, the focus will be on the analysis of specific topics, taking various philosophers and eras into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
