Entry requirements

52.5 credits from Theoretical Philosophy A and Theoretical Philosophy B

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student is expected to have received:

• a first training in doing their own research, presented in the form of an independently written essay
• in-depth knowledge of two different areas of philosophy.

Content

The course consists of three parts:

• Elective sub-course 1 (7.5 credits)
• Elective sub-course 2 (7.5 credits)
• Sub-course 3: C-essay (15 credits)

The elective sub-courses vary from semester to semester.

Instruction

The instruction consists of lectures and seminars for the elective sub-courses and of supervision and seminars for the essay course.

Assessment

For the assessment of the elective sub-courses, see under Other Directives. The assessment of the essay course (15 credits) is based upon the writing and defence of a scientific essay, and upon a critical oral discussion of another student's essay.

Other directives

The elective sub-courses also exist as separate courses with their own syllabi. Se see those syllabi for regulations as to the elective sub-courses.

The C-essay may be exchanged for two additional elective sub-courses, but this alternative does not fulfill the requirements for a degree of Bachelor's with practical philosophy as main field of study. The alternative is mainly for exchange students whose universities do not allow essays at this level of studies.
