Philosophy Jobs Abroad
If you’re drawn to philosophy, you’re likely a curious thinker—someone with a strong desire to explore the world and examine the ideas that shape it. As a philosopher and critical thinker, your skills are in high demand in fields ranging from education to business, medicine, and technology. So what better way could there be to add to the richness of your chosen field than to put theory into practice while living and working in cultures other than your own? If you want to expand your horizons while putting your degree to work, finding jobs abroad in philosophy is a great way to do just that!

Popular Locations for Philosophy Jobs Abroad
Three places that you might want to consider as you begin your search for international jobs in philosophy are:
Portugal. Known for its delicious food and pleasant climate, Portugal is a popular expat destination. This means increased opportunities for putting your philosophical talents to use—not only with local residents, but also with the expat community (many whom are British, which definitely makes it easier for English speakers!). The visa and residency process is not particularly complicated—and if you can prove that you have the means to support yourself, you’ll find the entry process to be welcoming and supportive, with things like health care available to you as a resident.
India. It’s common knowledge that India is a busy and densely populated country, with a mixture of bustling cities and rural countrysides providing home to over 1.3 billion people. There are actually over twenty states within the country, and each state has its own local culture as part of the national Indian identity. When it comes to religion and ethnicity, India is one of the most diverse countries in the world, and many world religions—like Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism—call India their birthplace. A philosophical education is respected in Indian culture, and opportunities for work in philosophy here are as varied as the people and culture itself.
Singapore. Home to satellite university campuses and partnerships with elite schools like Yale, MIT, and Cornell, Singapore is a growing international center for business, education, and innovation. In a country that already boasts an underground highway system, recognizing the need for continued urban expansion, the country’s infrastructure leaders intend to build not only up, but also underground in order to accommodate the population growth expected over the next twelve years. An incredibly diverse, safe, and busy city, the residents of Singapore speak English (even the street signs are in English!) which adds to the appeal for expats looking to find a new location to call home.
