Philosophy ?Knowledge - Values - Meaning‘ (M.A.)

Study content:

The degree programme allows specialisation in two of the following three areas: Metaphysics and Philosophy of Religion ("Interpretation"), Philosophical Anthropology and Ethics ("Valuation"), Analytical Philosophy and Philosophy of Science ("Science").

Interdisciplinary perspectives of one's own interests can be pursued across several faculties in the "assigned minor". Deeper orientation in the subject of philosophy, the acquisition of 'soft skills' also in the context of internships and practising independent scientific work prepare students for the time after the Master's degree.
