Philosophy develops students’ intellectual abilities like no other academic discipline.
It trains intelligence, the ability to understand new information, a capacity for
understanding other people and cultures; philosphy teaches how to properly interpret
the behaviour of individuals and societies. It fosters imagination and, most of all,
makes it easier to put together a coherent general world view as well as to determine
the aims of human life. The program of studies includes the following obligatory
subjects: Introduction to Philosophy, Ontology, Logic I [General Methodology and
Introduction to Formal Logic, Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, Recent Polish
Philosophy: the Lvov & Warsaw School, Epistemology, Logic II [Formal Logic] or
Logical Semiotics, Modern Philosophy, Latin, Analytic Philosophy, Current Continental
Philosophy, Ethics. PSE students also participate in English-language seminars,
proseminars and elective subjects offered as part of the Polish program of studies by
the Philosophy Institute. Studies ends with preparing Bachelor’s Dissertation and
passing the Bachelor’s Exam. Philosophy graduates are being seen by many employers
as particularly important valuable employees. They find employment, on the one
hand in various educational institutions, publishing companies and the mass media
and, on the other hand, in government offices, political organizations and in local
government institutions. Those philosophy graduates who are not native-speakers also
gain a solid knowledge of English thanks to which they become more employable both
within Poland and the European Union. Their qualifications can also provide a good
basis for applying for prestigious grants and scholarships as well as for places in MA
and PhD programmes throughout Europe.
