The aim of the BA program is to provide a thorough, broad, and comprehensive historical and systematic education in philosophy. At the same time, the program seeks to provide students with the research skills required for successful written and verbal expression in philosophy. You’ll also learn to use philosophical skills in analyzing contemporary societal debates.  The Institute of Philosophy offers a comprehensive range of BA, MA, Research Master, and Ph.D. degrees, all taught in English. Viewed collectively, our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees aim to familiarise students with the history of philosophy as well as with contemporary movements in analytic and continental philosophy so that they are able to engage with the fundamental areas of philosophical research. The Institute of Philosophy is proud to offer its students a broad philosophical education and a wide range of courses and seminars, as well as personalized study support and guidance. Structure  The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy program is a three-year program divided into 3 components: Core Courses will provide you with the necessary knowledge of history of philosophy and expound on the key philosophical themes and concepts. Seminars will teach you how to read and analyze texts closely, as well as offer well-structured presentations, and write philosophical papers. Electives, which also include non-philosophical courses, will stimulate your broader interests and encourage interdisciplinarity. An important part of the program is the Bachelor’s Paper with Seminar, a course in which you’ll learn to research and write a more extended piece of philosophical scholarship. The program is structured with a system of major (a package of 120 study credits in general philosophy courses and equal to all students) and minors (60 study credits to be chosen among three options: Liberal Arts, Theology and Religious Studies, and Educational Studies).
