The Bachelor's degree programme in Philosophy aims to give students a good basic command of the history of philosophical and scientific thought, the different branches of philosophical research, and their critical methodologies.


First-year and second-year courses provide an overview of the philosophical schools represented at the University of Milan, which are characterised by the following: a rigorous historical approach to philosophy; a focus on the contemporary, with particular attention to theoretical, moral and aesthetic issues; the development of analytical research in the fields of logic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language.


Given the deeply interdisciplinary nature of philosophy, during the third year students are required to expand their knowledge beyond the boundaries of philosophy, and to delve into other scientific and human domains. This is done to help students develop further cultural and professional skills, which could be of use also to those not wishing to continue with a Master's degree.


Moreover, the programme requires students to actively participate in workshops and seminars, which are crucial for the development of cross-cutting competencies, such as independent judgement, communication and learning skills.


The study plan includes lectures, seminars, language and computer skills assessments, philosophy-related as well as professional training workshops, elective courses, and possibly an internship.


Before sitting their final exam and earning their degree, students must demonstrate knowledge of at least another language of the European Union in addition to Italian. The programme adopts a blended learning approach. Courses delivered remotely or in blended mode will not amount to more than two thirds of the learning activities included in the programme.

Requirements and knowledge required for admission

Admission to the degree course requires a secondary school diploma or other recognised foreign qualification.

Admission to the degree course in Philosophy also requires an adequate basic preparation consisting of general knowledge, text comprehension and knowledge of the Italian language, logical reasoning, acquired in secondary school.


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. Information on how to complete the OFAs is published in the appropriate section of the degree programme website: https://filosofia.cdl.unimi.it/it/insegnamenti/recupero-ofa

Candidates already graduated or enrolled in a degree course at the University of Milan or at another university may be exempted from the test only if admitted to years subsequent to the first. For admission to years subsequent to the first year, an application must be submitted for a prior career evaluation in accordance with the procedures and deadlines described in the admission notice.

Students may choose to enrol part-time, in accordance with the rules established by the University. By doing so, students will have the opportunity to extend their course of study at no additional cost, since the overall cost of the degree will be the same as that envisaged for graduating within the normal duration of the degree.


Credit recognition procedures

The Academic Board of the degree course decides on the recognition of CFUs from previous careers, in accordance with the deadlines and procedures outlined by the University. The criteria used to recognise CFUs, in accordance with the University's Student Regulations, are set out in ad hoc regulations approved by the Academic Board itself and published on the degree course website at the following link https://filosofia.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi
