Overview

Additionally, the programme will regularly organize colloquia with experts working on the intersection of the philosophy, science and humanities.

You will learn to participate in discussions and write texts that bridge the gap between the scientific context and philosophical or public discourses. The master thesis will focus on a topic of your own choice in the field of philosophy or history of your specific discipline.

The Philosophy and Science programme from University of Groningen will provide you with philosophical research and writing skills that will enhance both your competence in your field and your thinking in general.
