All important info for international students in Germany (2024/2025)
Often associated with past generations of influential philosophers, such as Kandt, Habermas, and Arendt, the interdisciplinary English-language Masterās programs in Philosophy offered by German universities take these foundations of philosophy and apply them pragmatically to deal with pressing and important issues of our societies today.
The programs often focus on ethics, philosophy of science or technology and intersect with other disciplines such as economics, history, law, sports and politics. It is also possible to enter a broader course of study in Philosophy and subsequently define your own area of specialization. All options are available in our Study Finder.

Application Requirements
The Master's program in Philosophy is open to students of all disciplines. It is not restricted to students who have already completed a Bachelor's degree in the subject.
When you apply to a Masterās program in Germany, universities will usually expect you to have an academic degree in a related discipline. For the subject of Philosophy, and especially the interdisciplinary courses, this can vary from program to program. Relevant first degrees are often from the disciplines of Philosophy, Economics, Political Science, Law, Life Sciences or STEM subjects. For most programs, entrance tests or interviews are not part of the admission process, students must simply submit required documents. In addition to standard certificates (e.g. first degree certificate, a transcript of records, a language certificate), a CV and a letter of motivation are typically required.
