PHLOS
PHILOSOPHYFIRST-CYCLE UNIVERSITY STUDY PROGRAMME and FIRST-CYCLE, COMBINED UNIVERSITY STUDY PROGRAMME
The programme is designed ac-cording to the Bologna Declara-tion. The first-cycle programme lasts three years (180 ECTS cre-dit points).During the study, students acqui-re comprehensive and in-depth, fundamental knowledge of the fundamental issues of philosophy and of different theoretical and methodological approaches of the subject. Through detailed analyses of selected philosophi-cal problems and the search for solutions to the same, through reading, analysis, the interpreta-tion of fundamental philosophical texts, a meticulous examination of
these texts’ complex arguments, and the critical use of scientific literature, students develop skills required in independent scienti-fic and professional work.The aim of the programme is to qualify graduates for scientific and professional work at research and educational institutions, for independent writing or translati-on in the fields of philosophy, the humanities, and social sciences, for work at libraries (not as libra-rians), in editorial departments of publishing and media houses, and at other cultural institutions involved in following, resear-ching, and nourishing global and
domestic philosophical and hu-manist heritage.The first-cycle, combined univer-sity study programme lasts three years (six semesters) and is worth 180 ECTS credit points in combi-nation with the second combined programme. Each of the two com-bined programmes represents exactly 50% of the study load, or 90 ECTS credit points. The com-bination of the two combined pro-grammes therefore forms a single complete study programme. This programme can be combi-ned with all accredited, combi-ned study programmes.The combined study of Philo-sophy is especially useful for professions that require high a degree of philosophical commu-nicativeness and the ability to engage in intercultural mediation (translating, working as foreign representatives, in tourism, cul-tural management, working for international organisations, edu-cation-related counselling, etc.).
PROFILE OF THE GRADUATE One of the professional opportu-nities available to graduates of the study programmes in Philosophy is related to restaffing in the fi-elds of research and teaching of philosophy. The majority of gra-duates in philosophy who were later employed in the department of Philosophy at the Ljubljana’s Faculty of Arts, Maribor’s Faculty of Education, Institute of Philo-sophy of the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Acade-my of Sciences and Arts, and at other tertiary education and rese-arch institutions, graduated from the department of Philosophy at Ljubljana’s Faculty of Arts.Graduates of Philosophy often find employment in journalism and writing. The education acqui-red here also enables them to su-ccessfully work in publishing, at libraries, and for cultural institu-tions and agencies.Another notable source of emplo-yment is governmental organisa-tions, especially the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slove-nia and the Ministry of Educati-
on, Science, and Sport of the Re-public of Slovenia – institutions where a comprehensive philo-sophical education, the advanced ability of argumentation, and con-ceptual insights are in demand.Upon successful completion of study, students acquire the aca-demic title of diplomirana fi-lozofinja (UN) / diplomirani filozof (UN).*

Graduates of first-cycle, combi-ned study programmes acquire skills and knowledge in two disci-plines. Aside from the goals achi-eved in the fields of both selected disciplines they are also capa-ble of combining the knowledge acquired and also of connecting it with other fields.Upon successful completion of study, students acquire the aca-demic title of diplomirana filo-zofinja in ... (UN) / diplomira-ni filozof in ... (UN).*
