Bachelor in Philosophy

The Bachelor's programme in Philosophy at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin runs for three years, is taught in English, and carries an annual tuition fee of 6720 PLN. According to the programme, first-degree study in philosophy helps cultivate critical and analytical thinking skills, provides orientation across various areas of social life, and equips students for participation in interdisciplinary projects and a range of social roles, including work in scientific, educational, cultural, and administrative institutions. The programme includes compulsory work placements, giving students practical work experience through obligatory student practice arranged at institutions such as the Lublin City Office, the Majdanek State Museum, and MakoLab S.A., along with similar organisations across a number of sectors. On the professional skills side, graduates are expected to develop basic research skills, including formulating and analysing research problems, selecting research methods and tools, and processing and presenting results. Philosophy graduates from the programme are also trained to prove logical theorems, determine the logical structure of statements, and paraphrase natural language utterances in the languages of various logical systems. This combination of placement experience and formal logical training distinguishes the programme from a purely theoretical philosophy degree, giving graduates exposure to administrative and cultural-sector work environments alongside classroom study of philosophical texts and arguments. Lublin, in eastern Poland, is home to the John Paul II Catholic University, whose philosophy department offers this three-year bachelor's degree as part of its wider humanities provision, combining research training, formal logic, and applied placements within local institutions in the city.
