Doctoral Programme in Philosophy
The doctoral programme in philosophy serves to train young academics for qualified research and academic teaching in the humanities.
It enables students who have completed a Master's degree (or another equivalent degree) to carry out independent and innovative academic work in the form of a dissertation. The aim is to introduce students to research in the humanities at an international level through the independent acquisition of new scientific knowledge.
If you have any questions regarding the doctoral programme of philosophy and/or the dissertation, you can contact the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Humanities at any time.
