Programme Structure
The programme is organised in three years according to a careful structuring of the teaching load distributed over four areas:
- historical-philosophical field, characterized by the courses of History of Ancient, Medieval, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy;
- ethical-anthropological field, characterized by the courses of Moral Philosophy, Philosophical Anthropology and Social Ethics;
- logical-epistemological field, characterized by the courses of Logic, Philosophy of Science and History of Science;
- theoretical-metaphysical field, characterized by the courses of Ontology and Theoretical Philosophy.
The students then have the opportunity to complete their training by choosing optional area courses also in view of the preparation of the final paper.
ECTS
To obtain the undergraduate degree, 180 credits (ECTS) are required, which are acquired to the extent of about 60 each year with evaluation tests both for the courses and for other supplementary forms of teaching. Each exam is awarded a given number of ECTS, the same for all students, and a grade (expressed out of 30) that varies according to the level of preparation.
A 6-ECTS course includes an average of about 30 hours of lectures. A course of 12 ECTS, instead, includes about 60 ECTS. Courses may be taught according to a semester or annual calendar, as indicated in the timetables on the Faculty Notice Board. The final mark is out of 110.
