The bachelor Philosophy of a specific discipline is a combination bachelor and fully English-taught. After the first year of your bachelor, you enroll in this program while continuing with your own original bachelor. You can study at your own pace and spread out the one-year programme over two years. At the end of the three or four years you will be awarded to bachelor degrees.

Philosophy of a specific discipline consists of:

  • a minor (30 ECTS), introducing you to the history of philosophy and to some of the major philosophical areas such as ethics, philosophy of science, social-political philosophy, and logic;
  • a specialization course (5 ECTS) that introduces you to the field of philosophy that is most relevant to your first bachelor and connects both disciplines;
  • three electives (15 EC) to gain more in-depth knowledge of your specialization;
  • a bachelor’s thesis (10 ECTS) in which you carry out philosophical research connected to the discipline of your first bachelor, in well-organized course;
  • 120 ECTS of your first bachelor programme
