Studieninhalt
The study of philosophy, like the study of other subjects, such as mathematics, history or physics, does not directly lead to the entry into a specific profession. An exact definition of the typical subsequent career of a graduate in philosophy is therefore not possible. However past experience and the present situation indicate that graduates are mainly active in the following areas: scientific and cultural management, ethical and political consultation, business consulting, information technology, environmental protection, adult education, publication, media, libraries and archives. Recipients of Master’s degrees who aspire to careers in academe may undertake doctoral studies in philosophy.
