About Bachelor in Philosophy, BA - at Sofia University

Introduction

The main objective of the Sofia University BA Program in Philosophy (in English) is to provide students with a broad profile in philosophy. Our goal is to cultivate state of the art knowledge, skills, habits and attitudes. The program fosters erudition, methodological skills, analytical ability and critical thinking. Students will gain wide and fundamental knowledge so that they build on it to hone specialized skills in philosophy – immersing themselves in its complexity, communicative potential, and different traditions. The training is aimed at the formation of knowledge of the evolution of philosophical and social thought, of the different forms of critical and creative thinking, and of cultural self-reflection.

Description

The core of the program is built around 28 mandatory courses, which cover the main systematic subdivisions of philosophy, as well as the chief periods of its history.

In addition, students take a number of theoretical and practical education courses required for obtaining a license to teach in Bulgarian secondary schools. The program places a special emphasis on the history of philosophy and continental philosophy, but also includes a number of courses in the analytic tradition.
