MA Double Degree Philosophy

The MA Double Degree in Philosophy at the University of Bamberg provides students with a unique opportunity to explore ethical theories and their application across different cultural contexts. This programme is structured over four semesters and allows students to delve into topics such as moral philosophy, political ethics, and social justice. As a double degree, students have the chance to engage in collaborative learning experiences that broaden their perspective in philosophical discourse.

In the first two semesters, students typically complete foundational modules that enhance their critical thinking, analytical skills, and interdisciplinary understanding of philosophy. The programme also emphasizes research methodologies, guiding students through the process of developing their own philosophical inquiries. The latter semesters are reserved for specialized modules and the completion of a thesis, which focuses on a specific philosophical question of the student’s choice.

Moreover, studying in Germany offers students numerous advantages, including access to a rich philosophical heritage and the chance to collaborate with industry partners through various research initiatives. The programme encourages international exchange, and students may find opportunities to study in partner institutions in Italy or elsewhere, thus enriching their academic experience.

This programme is ideally suited for students who are passionate about philosophical inquiry, want to engage with pressing ethical issues on a global scale, and seek to contribute to scholarly and practical discussions in various fields such as public policy, law, or education.
