Hello!MA Philosophy degrees can be pursued by students who have complted their undergraduate degree in any course. Some skills that can be helpful for students who wish to puruse MA Philosophy courses are:Communication Skills: Students who wish to pursue BA degrees must develop adequate communication skills to express their thoghts, ideas and arguments in a structured, comprehensible manner.Moral Philosophy: Students should develop a strong moral compass and personal philosophy of what they feel is right, what is wrong and the distinction between the two. Critical Thinking and Analytical Skills: Students need to learn to apply their own mind into various philosophies and analyze them to develop their own opinions and views.

LPU encourages students to apply critical thinking in practical situations by designing a curriculum that emphasizes problem-solving and decision-making. Instead of just memorizing facts, students are taught to analyze situations, evaluate options, and come up with solutions. This approach is integrated into classroom discussions, assignments, and projects, where students are encouraged to think deeply and explore different perspectives before arriving at conclusions. The university also promotes hands-on learning through internships and live projects. During these experiences, students are exposed to real-world challenges and are expected to apply their critical thinking skills to address issues that businesses or industries face. By working directly with companies or on research projects, students learn to think on their feet, adapt quickly, and make decisions based on facts and evidence, rather than assumptions.Moreover, LPU encourages collaborative learning, where students work in teams to solve complex problems. In group projects, students must communicate, debate, and think critically to find the best solutions. This not only helps in developing individual thinking but also in learning how to respect different viewpoints and come to a collective decision. By fostering such an environment, LPU ensures that students become confident in applying critical thinking in real-life scenarios.
