Master’s Degree in Philosophy, Sciences and Society

The Master's Degree in Philosophy, Sciences and Society is offered by the University of Bergamo. It is organised in two integrated curricula, one theoretical-mental and one historical-social, and includes lectures, argumentative writing laboratories, practical exercises, an internship and international stays, up to the individual thesis. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years and is taught in person in Bergamo. The language is Italian. Internships are provided.

The aim is to train professionals able to develop critical responses to contemporary challenges, developing skills in argumentation, critical analysis, philosophical research and teaching skills for secondary school. The career opportunities are research, teaching, philosophical consulting, cultural publishing, communication, cultural project management, cultural mediation and social policies. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
