The programme at a glance
Exploring Philosophical Thought and Its Evolution
The knowledge of the basics of philosophical knowledge develops in four interesting directions: historical-philosophical (history of ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary philosophy), ethical-anthropological, logical-epistemological and theoretical-metaphysical. Students can complete their education by choosing courses from other areas, including humanities, communication and linguistic-literary.
Teaching methodology
The predominantly theoretical nature of the courses is combined with the initiatives organized by the Faculty: seminars, meetings with philosophers and professors of international prestige, research and in-depth work.
And then? Traditional outlets and new opportunities
In addition to the path to obtaining the qualification for teaching and research activities, graduates in Philosophy can make a valuable contribution in various sectors: publishing and other areas of the cultural industry; communication and public relations services; human resources management and personnel management.
