For this reason, the Bachelor of Philosophy constitutes a coherent and relevant step for students who have a professional project in the field of communication, journalism, political marketing, for the preparation to the administrative competitions of category A, cultural management. The licence in philosophy allows access to a master's degree in philosophy and constitutes a first step, indispensable, for the preparation of the teaching competitions (CAPES and agrégation). It also provides access to the competitive entrance exams (direct admission to the 2nd year) of the major management schools.
