Master's program
German and French Philosophy
The Faculty of Humanities offers German Master's and Ph.D. programs in German and French philosophy. The focus is on the interdisciplinary and intercultural networking of philosophy. Against the background of basic questions on phenomenological philosophy, philosophical anthropology, and contemporary philosophy, the courses deal with analyses of epochal thresholds, intercultural philosophy, the philosophy of art, and the interdisciplinary project of ecological philosophy. The central concern is not simply to presuppose concepts of 'culture', but to question them philosophically. Because of this wide spectrum, the courses are also of interest to all those who deal with cultural studies and theories of cultures.
The full-time study program is taught in person at the Faculty in Prague. This means that your classes will be scheduled throughout the week at the Faculty headquarters.
The language of tuition is German. The standard length of study is 2 years.
The application deadline is July 31, 2023. Make sure that you officially submit and close your online application by midnight (Central European time)! No late submissions are accepted.
