In an increasingly complex world facing a crisis of values, La Salle – Ramon Llull University offers a unique Philosophy degree in Catalonia, inspired by the Anglo-Saxon educational system of the Great Books Seminars. This innovative program explores the legacy of great thinkers to address today’s ethical, social, and technological challenges.
Philosophy has never been so essential than it is today. At La Salle-URL, we equip you not only to understand the world, but also to become an agent of change and transformation. To support this mission, we collaborate with the University’s Business Council to subsidize a percentage of the degree’s cost. This initiative makes it more accessible for talented young individuals with knowledge and skills to study with us, regardless of their economic, familial, or geographical background.
