Philosophy of a Specific Discipline
SubjectPhilosophy, Humanities
Is this programme for you?
What makes natural science "scientific"? What is a just law? Should animals have rights? You are curious about what science can tell us about free will and ethical responsibilities. Philosophy addresses some of the most complex questions that have ever been asked. If you find such questions fascinating and you want to develop your analytical and dialectical skills, then this programme is the right fit for you.
Philosophy of a Specific Discipline is a combination programme and you can confine this with your Bachelor's degree. After an introduction in Philosophy, you can choose advanced courses in Philosophy of Science, Ethics, Political Philosophy or History of Philosophy. You cannot study this degree as a standard 3-year Bachelor's degree. It must always be in combination with another discipline.
