It enables students to think critically, develop in-depth knowledge about reality, see themselves and the world from a broader perspective, analyse problems from many angles, avoid patterns and justify their beliefs. Philosophy programme develops the culture of logical thinking, teaches how to discuss, argue, analyse complex situations, creates new ideas and visions. It makes it possible to reflect on the fundamental issues of existence, truth, goodness, human, the principles of social life, and the methodological foundations of sciences. The studies show the changes in thinking over the centuries, the dependence of contemporary ways of viewing the world on the traditions of the European cultural heritage. Philosophy enables students to deepen their self-awareness, provides a good basis for acting in any areas that require creativity, teaches thinking outside the box and responding creatively to changes. The graduates of Philosophy demonstrate high intellectual culture supported by knowledge of a wide range of problems. The curriculum enables the students to acquire basic philosophical knowledge and, at the same time, a possibility to deepen their knowledge of detailed and specialised issues. The graduates of the Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy are familiar with the disciplines and directions of philosophy, the research methods applied within their frameworks and the ways of argumentation. They are able to analyse and interpret texts and familiar with the principles of publishing scientific texts. The acquisition of general education and the ability to think and acquire knowledge independently enables students to adapt flexibly to the changing job market and provides them with universal foundations for a responsible and mature approach to life. The exchange of views that accompanies discussions in class and in social contacts develops an attitude of tolerance and openness. The knowledge and skills acquired allow for a critical attitude towards the modern world. The distance and openness towards the issues of everyday life give room for creativity in the face of its problems. Apart from general philosophical education, the graduates are specialists in one of two majors: Classical Philosophy or Philosophy of New Media and Communication, which is an additional advantage and a chance to take the position of an expert in various spheres of social life.
