Overview

The Philosophy Department in University of Salzburg is one of the few fully analytic departments in continental Europe.

Key features

The teachers are leading players in their respective fields, as witnessed by the large amount of competitive research funding they have been awarded in recent years. Among other things, these research projects fund international conferences as well as international postdoctoral researchers who, on top of their research activities, offer a number of advanced graduate classes in English.

MA students will have a chance to learn in small seminar groups, work under the supervision of leading international researchers, give presentations, participate in research seminars, and, more generally, in the (rather active) research life of the department.

The skills taught in a master’s level philosophy program can be applied in many fields: science and cultural management, information technology, environmental protection, adult education, publishing, media, libraries and archives.
