Decipher truth and reality

What do we really know? Does the world really work the way we think it does? In what does just differ from unjust? 

During your Bachelor of Philosophy study, you will learn to inquire into reality by asking fundamental questions on topical themes. You will develop a critical perspective on science, religion, and society. If this is your second study programme, you can opt for the abbreviated version.

You can follow the Bachelor of Philosophy in either English or Dutch.

Five reasons to choose Philosophy at VU:

1. You will be introduced to all the great philosophers from ancient Greece to the present day.

2. Extensive attention to historical-, practical- and theoretical philosophy. 

3. You learn to apply philosophy in other disciplines.

4. You can choose the topic of your graduation thesis yourself.

5. You can also take Philosophy as your second degree/ parttime studies, qualifying for exemptions.
