The Master's degree programme in Philosophical Sciences provides graduates with an in-depth knowledge of the contents and methods of philosophical investigation, while promoting specialist training in various research fields.
Without prejudice to the need for a broad and general philosophical training, two reasons call for specialization in the area of philosophical studies during the Master's programme.
Firstly, specialist training allows graduates to become aware of the specificity and complexity of problems, both theoretical and practical, as required of a professional nowadays.
Secondly, over the last decades the areas of philosophical research have become increasingly rich and diverse. Not only do they provide specific content and reasoning tools aimed at developing critical ability, they also deepen relationships with various fields of study including: psychology, linguistics, information technology, art, history, sociology, political science, anthropology, pedagogy, biology, physics, mathematics.
In addition to reflecting on itself and its methods, philosophy offers tools to question and deepen the conceptual foundations of any discipline: it reconstructs the history of theoretical notions, provides new analysis tools, questions the ethical and political implications of actions and behaviours, and it can only do so through well-defined and differentiated paths. Hence the need to structure the programme as several curricula offering diverse study paths, with a view to specialisation in philosophical research as well as to pre-professional education.
Therefore, students enrolled in the Master's degree programme in Philosophical Sciences are called to identify a research field among those proposed, to deepen their philosophical training with a rigorous and specialist approach.
To this end, the degree programme requires students to follow courses which allow them to gain a deeper understanding of their chosen field, while also exploring its multiple interactions with related and complementary disciplines. Thanks to the knowledge and skills acquired through these courses, students become fully equipped to write and discuss the final thesis at a specialist level.
To understand the learning pathway, it is worth taking a look at the key areas around which the coursework is structured: the historical dimension of philosophical thought; the theoretical, moral and aesthetic foundations of contemporaneity; the study of society in its anthropological, sociological, political, ethical and philosophical dimensions; logic, language and the theory of mind, also in relation to the developments of contemporary scientific research.

The programme ? which is divided into different curricula ? aims to produce graduates who have an extensive knowledge of philosophy and are able to use it for the following purposes:
- understanding philosophical texts in their historical contexts, using bibliographic sources and reading the critical literature;
- conducting research using theoretical, logical and epistemological tools;
- analysing and arguing different philosophical theories with a wide range of potential applications;
- discussing and assessing arguments advanced in the fields of theoretics, practice and communication;
- analysing interdisciplinary studies applicable to the humanities;
- developing well-structured arguments with various social and/or cultural applications;
- applying philosophical knowledge in different fields of human and social sciences;
- promoting the political dimension of philosophy in a variety of social settings, in order to solve problems.

The Master's Degree Programme in Philosophical Sciences has had Erasmus-exchange partnerships with other European universities for over ten years. The programme keeps students up-to-date on these, encouraging them to take advantage of the opportunities these exchanges offer. In recent years, the Erasmus scholarship programme is posted to the University website, and is presented to philosophical science students through a special meeting organised by the Department Erasmus manager, where students are given an introduction to the various campuses, and different options for specialising in philosophy. Given the vast number of campus options, all philosophical areas are covered through the various available campuses: history of philosophy, theoretical philosophy, moral philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of language, logic, and philosophy of science. The various locations also offer the opportunity for students to take exams in subjects other than philosophy.
Candidates are selected by a commission made up of Department teachers, who assess the student's interests, their academic career, and their proficiency in the language of the country where they hope to study.
Admitted students will fill out the Learning Agreement with the Erasmus manager. Once abroad, they will correspond via email with the manager regarding any changes. Students submitting a Learning Agreement to the Erasmus manager via email will receive it back e-signed. They may then have their host university countersign the document prior to their return home.
Upon returning home, any exams the student has taken whilst abroad (documented in the "Transcript of Records") are converted into Italian exams based on the Learning Agreement; exam conversion and the marks for the same shall be subject to approval of the Academic Board for Philosophy.
Current international agreements are available at the following link: https://www.unimi.it/en/international/university-milan-world/international-agreements.
Lecture attendance is recommended but not required.
Workshop attendance is mandatory.

b) be proficient in English at level B1;
c) for applicants who earned their Bachelor's degree abroad, in order to properly assess the consistency of their previous academic studies with the criterion referred to in point a), the admission board will determine the applicant's eligibility for admission based on their understanding and knowledge of philosophy, as acquired during their prior study programme. To this end, applicants holding a foreign degree may be invited to an in-person or online interview.

Proficiency in English at a B1 level or higher under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required for admission.
The B1-level requirement will be ascertained by the University Language Centre (SLAM) upon admission as follows:
- Language certificate at or above B1, obtained no more than three years earlier. For the list of language certificates recognized by the University please review: (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267). The certificate must be uploaded when submitting the online application;
- English level achieved during a University of Milan degree programme and certified by the University Language Centre (SLAM) no more than four years before the date of admission application, including levels based on language certificates submitted by the applicants during their Bachelor's degree at the University of Milan. In this case the process is automatic, the applicant does not have to attach any certificates to the application;
- Entry test administrated by the University Language Centre (SLAM) according to the calendar published on the website: (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267)
All those who fail to submit a valid certificate or do not meet the required proficiency level will be instructed during the admission procedure to take the Entry test.
Applicants who do not take or pass the Entry test will be required to obtain a language proficiency certificate recognized by the University (see: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322) and deliver it to the SLAM via the InformaStudenti service by the deadline fixed for the master's programme (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267/).
Applicants who do not meet the requirement by said deadline will not be admitted to the master's degree programme and may not sit any further tests.

Admission assessment
The Master's degree programme in Philosophical Sciences does not have capped enrolment; any student meeting the eligibility requirements appearing above may be admitted. Students who earned their Bachelor's degree with a final mark of 95/110 or above will be deemed to have the proper educational background for the programme.
Students who graduated with a final mark lower than 95 must pass an interview, which may be held virtually or in person.
Bachelor's graduates in Philosophy (class L-5) from the University of Milan will be deemed to meet curricular requirements and automatically admitted into the programme, provided that they graduated with a final mark equal to or higher than 95/110.
