We recommend our program for those who are interested in philosophy and want to study it at advanced level. Our Philosophy MA program covers mainly Continental philosophy (metaphysics, phenomenology, hermeneutics) and the history of philosophy.
The aim of this program is twofold: first, to give an in-depth overview of philosophy and second, to prepare students for doctoral studies. Master's studies require a basic knowledge of both the history and the main disciplines of philosophy.

Tutorial consultations throughout the program provide students with the opportunity of pursuing customized research work in their specific fields of interest. The training also provides skills in research methodology necessary for doctoral studies.
