Occupational profiles

The Philosophy degree is divided into two cycles: the Bachelor programme in three years and the Master's programme in one or two years.


Master’s graduates can go on to undertake research at university. The field is a vast one, although there are few research posts available. On the other hand, newly qualified philosophers enjoy a wide range of other career destinations.

With high-level skills in the critical analysis, reviewing and summarising of complex material, and with their intellectual rigour and inventiveness, philosophers are increasingly in demand in both the public and private sectors.

There is a wide range of career opportunities open to students completing a Master's degree in Philosophy including:

  • Teaching philosophy (secondary education, higher non-university education
  • Public administration (local, regional, federal and international)
  • Diplomatic career
  • Cultural services
  • Private sector (banks, insurance, industrial and commercial companies...)
