Study Philosophy at HHU

The Philosophy Program at HHU is offered with the degrees Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. While in the Bachelor Study Program a major subject is combined with a minor subject, the Master Study Program is a single-subject Program, in which a specialization in either Theoretical or Practical Philosophy is possible. Philosophy can be studied with the Bachelor degree as a major or a minor subject. In both cases, students may enroll for a Master Study Program after successful graduation.

The Bachelor Study Program is offered as a two-subject program. The main subject is combined with a freely selectable minor subject to allow for an individual focus. In addition, there is an obligatory interdisciplinary elective. The standard period of study is 3 academic years (6 semesters). Philosophy can be studied as a major subject or as a minor subject. Both options can qualify for the Master Study Program.
