Studying philosophy at Comillas allowed me to strengthen and define my humanistic and humanitarian vocation. The possibility of doing an academic year in Paris opened the doors to the professional and intercultural sphere.

Miguel Mateu
Philosophy at Comillas is the best option for anyone who is not satisfied with mere materialism. At this institution I have learned to really love philosophy. The proximity and the depth of the professors have been the best experience of the course for me. On the other hand, the curriculum has a lot of humanities credits that enable you to teach history and literature in addition to philosophy.
