Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

CEU is an English-language university in Vienna, with an exceptionally diverse international community, with students coming from over 100 countries, and faculty from some 40 countries, which makes for an unusually stimulating environment. We are crossing borders, intellectually and socially. We subscribe to the BPA/SWIP UK Good Practice Scheme (see: https://philosophy.ceu.edu/good-practice-scheme) and CEU cares for equal opportunity and has developed its own extensive equal opportunity strategies (see: https://www.ceu.edu/equal-opportunity).

Additional Information

CEU’s Philosophy Department is internationally recognized as one of the top analytic philosophy programs in continental Europe. Its faculty has published in the best journals and presses in the world. The Department was ranked #33 in the QS World University Subject ranking in 2022 - up two places from its #35 ranking in 2021.

Program Strengths

Our MA programs aim to enable students to proceed to doctoral training in any leading department around the world. Our graduates will also be very well qualified, as far as the subject is concerned, to teach philosophy in the final years of secondary school. In addition, a holder of one of our philosophy MA degrees will have the kind of training in thinking analytically and systematically which is of great value in all responsible administrative and managerial positions. Regularly offered mandatory courses include courses in Logic, Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language, Metaphysics, Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, Early Modern Philosophy, and Continental Philosophy. In addition, we offer mandatory courses that help students in developing their skills in writing, argumentation and research. These are the Academic Writing Seminar, the Departmental Colloquium and the MA Thesis Seminar. The MA thesis supervision process is in addition to the MA Thesis Seminar and based on an intensive one-to-one faculty-student interaction and spread out over almost the complete final MA program year. Regularly offered elective courses include courses in the Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Religion, Empiricism, Rationalism, Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle, Aesthetics, Philosophy of Science, Social Philosophy, and Political Philosophy. Other courses will follow the faculty’s research interests.
