The programme in a nutshell
Exploring philosophical thought and its evolution
Knowledge of the foundations of philosophical knowledge is developed in four directions: historical-philosophical (history of ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary philosophy), ethical-anthropological, logical-epistemological and theoretical-metaphysical. The student can complete his or her education by choosing subjects from other areas, including the humanities, communication and language/literature.
Teaching methodology
The predominantly theoretical nature of the courses is combined with the initiatives organised by the Faculty: seminars, meetings with internationally renowned philosophers and lecturers, research and in-depth studies.
What next? Traditional outlets and new opportunities
In addition to the pathway to qualification in teaching and research, Philosophy graduates can make a valuable contribution in a number of areas: publishing and other areas of the cultural industry; communication and public relations services; human resources management and personnel management.
