About the Program

Philosophy examines fundamental questions about knowledge, existence, ethics, and reasoning through the close study of philosophical texts and arguments. Coursework typically spans logic, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, and the history of philosophy from ancient to contemporary thought, along with specialized topics such as political philosophy or philosophy of science. Students develop skills in critical analysis, argumentation, and clear written expression, often through seminar discussion and extended essays that engage with primary philosophical sources. The discipline also encourages comparative study of different philosophical traditions and schools of thought. Graduates apply these analytical and communication skills in fields such as law, education, publishing, public policy, and further graduate study in philosophy or related humanities disciplines. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Yeditepe University in İstanbul, Turkey. The program's seminar-based approach encourages sustained engagement with philosophical texts and debate among students. Coursework is structured to build both historical knowledge of the discipline and the analytical skills needed for independent philosophical reasoning.
