Philosophy

Are you ready to go deeper? This Master's programme in Philosophy connects you with a specific field of science, equipping you to ask the most profound questions. You'll master critical thinking and precise argumentation. In an era defined by rapid scientific advancement, this ability to see what others may miss is increasingly crucial.

Become a dual-expert with our intensive two-year MA programme. This unique curriculum is engineered to integrate philosophical reflection with scientific expertise. You will expand and deepen your knowledge using philosophical theories and concepts.

The programme combines foundational philosophy courses and specialized courses related to your scientific discipline (Healthcare, Economics, Policy, or Law). Our Philosophy MA programme is to be combined with at least 30 EC of another Master programme.

The Master's programme in Philosophy offers the following tracks:

  • Philosophy, Bioethics and Health provides students with the tools to effectively address and manage ethical dilemmas in the field of health (to be combined with 30 EC in a healthcare related MA).
  • Ethics, Economics, and Policy (EEP) trains students to apply ethical reasoning and policy analysis to pressing global issues like climate change, AI governance, and migration (to be combined with 30 EC in an economics or policy MA).
  • Philosophy of Law and Governance is ideal for Law graduates seeking to understand the philosophical foundations underpinning contemporary law (to be combined with 30 EC in a law MA).
