Master in philosophy

The Master in Philosophy at USI differs from many other philosophy programs:
It offers courses in contemporary analytic philosophy and in the history of philosophy, ancient and medieval, which are designed to complement each other.
Its focus is on theoretical philosophy and its history - especially on metaphysics and the philosophy of mind.
It has a strong thematic unity; the topic of the 2018/2020 Master is time and existence.
It requires students to submit regular written work, to produce research papers and to develop their discussion skills in class.
This full-time study program comprises 120 ECTS spread over 4 semesters (usual duration 2 years). All philosophy courses are in English. It is possible for students to earn their degree by taking courses in English only.
