Undergraduate study
STUDY OPTIONS
The study of philosophy at the University Ljubljana has existed
since its founding in 1919. The Department of Philosophy presently offers three
undergraduate programmes:
- single-subject (B.A. Philosophy)
- two-subject with teaching specialisation (B.A. Teacher of Philosophy and
other subject)
- two-subject (B.A. Philosophy and other subject)
Single-subject students can take additional classes in the teaching
of philosophy at the Centre for Pedagogical Education at the Faculty of Arts
and thus acquire a B.A. Philosophy - Teacher of Philosophy.
CAREER OPTIONS AND FURTHER STUDY
1. A single-subject graduate in philosophy is professionally qualified
for the following:
-
professional and research work in philosophy
-
jobs in cultural and public institutions, libraries, publishing
houses, newspapers, magazines, television and other media
-
writing and translating philosophical and other theoretical
texts - educational work
-
as a teacher of philosophy (with above-mentioned additional
classes) in secondary school.
These all demand constant improvement of the graduate's knowledge
and self-education through critical study of professional texts. The Department
therefore offers postgraduate (M.A. and Ph.D.) courses under the general conditions
for postgraduate studies in Slovenia.
2. A two-subject graduate (teaching specialisation) in philosophy
and another subject is qualified to teach philosophy in secondary school and
in voluntary educational programmes. It is also possible to continue studies
on a post-graduate level, especially in a pedagogic field.
3. A two-subject graduate in philosophy and another subject is
qualified for professions in philosophy and cultural areas, such as:
- interdisciplinary research specialist
- relevant posts in cultural institutions
- publicist and translating jobs on interdisciplinary field
- teaching on voluntary educational programmes.
COMBINED PROGRAMMES
Two-subject programmes require the student to follow an additional
study programme at the Faculty of Arts or (by agreement) at some other faculty
within the University. Additional study is possible, by agreement. Moving from
one programme to another is regulated either by the Faculty of Arts regulations
or by the statute and regulations of the University of Ljubljana. Moving from
a programme at some other university to study of Philosophy at the Faculty of
Arts is regulated by the Act on Higher Education and the statutes of the university
with additional rules defining the procedure of moving to the Faculty of Arts,
and also according to agreements which the Faculty of Arts has signed with other
universities and faculties.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The single-subject programme covers 36 philosophy courses in four
years of study. The two-subject programme with teaching specialisation offers
23 special philosophical and 5 pedagogic-psychological subjects in four years
of study.
The two-subject programme (non-pedagogic option) offers 25 special
