The Institute of Philosophy offers two programs in philosophy as well as opportunities for doctoral candidates in philosophy:

• Bachelor’s degree program in philosophy (B.A.)
  (with philosophy as a 60/30-credit offering in combination bachelor’s degree programs)
• Master’s degree program in philosophy (M.A.)
• Doctorate (Dr. phil.)

It is also possible for students to take courses in philosophy as part of other programs:

• Philosophy as a related module, elective, or minor subject
  as part of programs toward the degree of Diplom and “mono” (single-subject) bachelor’s degree programs
• Philosophy at the FU with international mobility

A number of degree programs that are being phased out are still being served by the institute. New students are no longer being admitted to these programs, not even in higher semesters.

• “Older” bachelor’s degree programs in philosophy (A, B, C and D types, enrollment up to the 2015 summer semester)
• “Older” master’s degree programs in philosophy (A and B types, enrollment up to the 2013/14 winter semester)
• Program toward the degree of Magister in philosophy
