The Master's Degree Course in Philosophical Sciences, with a single curriculum, lasts two years and aims to ensure advanced, solid and up-to-date training in the main areas of philosophical research thanks to the high scientific profile, also recognized at an international level, of our teaching staff.
Teaching activities are carried out through lectures, exercises and laboratories, and also include active participation by students, through the discussion of ideas, theories and texts, presentations in class and the writing of essays written in Italian and/or English.
