Overview
The Master of Arts in Philosophical Sciences provides an education that deepens both theoretically and methodologically:
a) knowledge of philosophical problems in historical and theoretical perspectives;
b) skills in conceptual analysis;
c) knowledge of logical-argumentative structures;
d) knowledge of the relationship among philosophical concepts and scientific, political, artistic, and religious ideas.
Within this framework, the degree program enables students to shape specialized study plans, fitting their own intellectual interests. In order to enhance the international appeal of the Master’s degree, some courses are held in English. Moreover, in conjunction with the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, our students may choose to pursue a double degree program on “German Idealism and Modern European Philosophy”.

Proficiency in both knowledge of the history of philosophy and logical-argumentative skills, besides training in autonomous and original thinking through the preparation of a dissertation, concur to make the graduate’s profile eligible for various working fields.
