Philosophy

Nell'articolazione degli esami proposti nei primi due anni, il corso esprime gli sviluppi delle scuole di ricerca consolidate dell'Ateneo milanese. Esse sono caratterizzate da uno studio storico-filosofico rigoroso; da un'attenzione per la contemporaneità particolarmente rivolta all'approfondimento delle problematiche teoretiche, morali ed estetiche; dall'evoluzione dell'indagine analitica nella logica, nelle filosofie delle scienze e del linguaggio.
Dato il carattere eminentemente interdisciplinare, che è tipico della filosofia, il corso di laurea prevede che, sulla base di una adeguata formazione filosofica, gli studenti e le studentesse possano sviluppare nel terzo anno i propri studi, attingendo direttamente ad altri ambiti della cultura umanistica e scientifica, integrando lo sviluppo di conoscenze e competenze culturali e professionali, utili anche per chi non prosegue gli studi magistrali.
Completano il percorso attività didattiche specifiche, quali la partecipazione attiva a laboratori e a seminari, fondamentali per lo sviluppo delle competenze trasversali quali l'autonomia di giudizio, le abilità comunicative e le capacità di apprendimento.
Il corso di laurea struttura le proprie attività didattiche tramite lezioni, seminari, accertamenti delle competenze informatiche e linguistiche, laboratori (di discipline filosofiche e di orientamento professionalizzante), insegnamenti a libera scelta ed eventuali tirocini e stage.
Gli studenti e le studentesse, per poter essere ammessi alla prova finale, dovranno acquisire la conoscenza di almeno una lingua straniera moderna dell'Unione Europea. Il corso di laurea adotta la modalità di svolgimento di tipo mista. Gli insegnamenti che saranno erogati in modalità blended learning o a distanza non supereranno il massimo dei 2/3 del totale delle attività del corso.

Methods for verifying knowledge and personal preparation
Admission is permitted only after having taken a compulsory non-selective test for orientation and self-assessment purposes. The University uses the CISIA Consortium's TOLC-SU test.
Students who matriculate with a score below the threshold specified in the admission notice must follow a course aimed at satisfying the OFAs (Additional Educational Obligations) required by law. In the event of failure to pass the OFA remedial tests, the career will be blocked at the end of the first year and only unlocked after the OFAs have been met.
