MAP: Master in Philosophy, USI Lugano

The MAP – the Master in Philosophy at USI, Lugano – is taught by philosophers from some of the most prestigious universities in the world. It has a clear focus on theoretical philosophy (especially metaphysics and the philosophy of mind), and on ancient and medieval philosophy.

The programme is research-oriented. It is designed to prepare students for doctoral programmes through its hands-on approach to theoretical philosophy and its history. Moreover, it requires students to produce regular written work and to receive feedback on it.
