Philosophy
Master
What is consciousness? What is the relation between truth and democracy? If our world is mechanistic, how could chances ever exist?
Students will train the philosophical knowledge and skills they developed in their Bachelor's degree and are encouraged to engage in philosophical discussions at a deeper level during their Master's. The Master's in Philosophy therefore offers a highly individualized programme helping students to explore their options in philosophy after completion of the programme. The Master's is concluded with a thesis on a topic of your choice.
The Faculty of Philosophy is home to internationally renowned teaching staff who together with a diverse student body form a lively and stimulating close-knit philosophical community located in the city center of Groningen. The Master's programme in Philosophy is offered both on a full-time and part-time basis. More information about the programme and courses see page 68 of the study guide.
