Philosophy, a field of study which forms the basis of all scientific and artistic fields, asks fundamental questions and develops creative thinking by means of discussing proposals to solutions to such questions, which is a prerequisite for accurate and rational thinking.

What is expected from philosophy in today’s world is to get ready for the future by using thinking models to resolve the present conditions and to analyse the different approaches to the existence.

Department of philosophy, being nourished by the interdisciplinary transference, particularly with the psychology department, has undertaken a mission to enable the students to develop their philosophical and linguistic skills through elective and compulsory courses designed to offer varied perspectives.

The program aims at raising awareness on subfields of philosophy such as ontology, epistemology, philosophy of science, political philosophy, ethics, aesthetics in addition to other subjects like human rights and globalisation among both philosophy students and students in other areas of study.

Skills that graduate students gain such as reading, writing, comprehension and consistent thinking will enable them to be employed in multidisciplinary fields. These fields are mainly teaching of philosophy, media, public relations, tourism, advertising, script writing, editing, translation and human resources. Furthermore, our graduate students are likely to head towards various milieus such as literature or non-governmental organisations.

Courses like English, literature and computing are given throughout the four-year education program have been designed to provide students with an advantage in their working lives. A major number of graduates of philosophy also tend to continue to be involved in academic life through postgraduate studies.
