      MA studies 

     in English

      full-time 

( about )

"Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion” is a 2-year MA program for both Polish and foreign students. All offered courses are taught entirely in the English language. The studies are meant to develop philosophical skills and competencies that are useful in the professional, public, and private spheres (e.g., critical thinking, creativity, rationality, and effective argumentation).

The courses are planned in a balanced way and work towards the development of the philosophy students’ skills and knowledge. However! The program is also suitable for graduates from different fields – all students will be provided with a solid philosophical foundation and a comprehensive understanding of current philosophical, religious, and scientific debates.

Students will develop their abilities to discuss philosophy in the English language and it is therefore also recommended for those students who intend to have an academic career in the field. Studies are planned to balance work and education- allowing students to pursue their career simultaneously with studies.

This MA is designed to be your great intellectual adventure – our knowledge and experience will guide your passion and philosophical interest on the path of your development. Graduates are not limited to only academic careers, though! The program may also be useful to translators who want to specialize in philosophical literature. Furthermore, the philosophical skills gained from our studies are useful to candidates who want to work as financial, ethical, or environmental analysts, human rights experts, social media coordinators, creative writers, or researchers. The studies help students to express themselves in spoken and written language. This particular MA degree, obtained here at UPJPII, is equivalent to a Licentiate, which gives the graduate qualifications to teach in church institutions. .
