## The degree program is split into four phases. In the first phase of the degree program that lasts one semester, students attend the preparatory course and acquire basic knowledge of the content, methods and working techniques of philosophy in general and of argumentation theory and logic in particular. The second phase (first to third semester) serves as a historical and systematic introduction to the most important sub-disciplines of philosophy and also provides an overview of the history of philosophy.
