Philosophy (Classe L-5)-Enrolled from 2014/2015 Until 2020/2021
The goals of the Bachelor's degree programme in Philosophy, structured as a single-track programme, is to provide, first and foremost, a solid understanding of the basic timeline of philosophical and scientific thinking, as well as the different schools of thought in philosophical research, and philosophical criticism and methods. This well-established approach at the University of Milan, and its willingness to consider the points of intersection between diligent historical-philosophical study and understanding of the contemporary world, allows students to explore theoretical, epistemological, and moral topics thoroughly. Philosophy is the quintessential interdisciplinary field. Therefore, the Bachelor's degree programme also contemplates, once students have acquired a sufficient foundation in philosophy, that they expand their coursework into the humanities and the sciences, whether within the same, or in another, Faculty. They should seek out instruction which truly reflects the specific competencies they seek.
Philosophy graduates can take on professional roles in multiple communication and cultural training processes, in publishing, in cultural promotion and dissemination through multimedia, in the organizational and planning activities of public and private entities, and in the public administration.

The Bachelor's Degree Programme in Philosophy 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 application has been posted to the University's website, and is presented to philosophy students through a special meeting organised by the degree programme's 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 Bachelor's degree programme faculty, who assess the student's interests and their academic career. Admission interviews are in the language of the foreign country where the students intend to study, in order to assess their language proficiency.
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.
