- This Master’s program is specially designed for legal graduates with a deep interest in the theoretical foundation of the law. Most students follow a traditional Master’s in Law at the same time, meaning that students will come out with two Master’s degrees – one in Law and one in Philosophy. This is truly a unique selling point, allowing their career to go in two very different directions.
- Philosophy sits at the very core of modern legal systems, and in this program, students will learn to assess those legal systems against the ethical standards that have been discussed by philosophers for centuries. Students will study philosophy of science, normative ethics, ancient and medieval philosophy, modern philosophy, and how to read philosophical texts.
- The program is highly interdisciplinary, consisting of introductory philosophy courses, courses in philosophy of law, and student's own choice of law courses that they can tailor to their area of interest. Students will also write a Master’s thesis on a legal issue of their choice – perhaps related to their research for their Master’s degree in Law.
- This is a small-scale program, meaning students will work a lot in small groups and receive plenty of attention from the teaching staff. But students will also benefit from working with students and teachers whose backgrounds are in different disciplines. All students following a Philosophy specialization take the core introductory philosophy courses, which means students will come into contact with people specializing in neuroscience or bioethics and health as well.
