Bachelor in Philosophy

The Bachelor's programme in Philosophy at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa is taught in English over six semesters. According to the university, the programme aligns with its broader mission, defined as scientific and didactic activity carried out through research, the promotion of knowledge, teaching of students, doctoral candidates, and listeners, and cooperation with domestic and foreign scientific centres. The first-degree philosophy programme is presented as an extension of this teaching mission, widening the university's scientific and didactic activity into promotional work as well. The programme is also framed around the university's stated local responsibilities, described as keeping in mind the historical, social, economic, and cultural situation of Częstochowa and its region, and contributing in this way to the success of the local community. A philosophy bachelor's degree typically introduces students to core areas such as logic, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, and the history of philosophy, alongside training in critical reading, argument analysis, and written and oral argumentation. These skills are transferable across many fields, including education, publishing, public administration, and further graduate study in philosophy or related humanities and social science disciplines. Częstochowa, a city in southern Poland known for the Jasna Góra monastery, is home to Jan Długosz University, which offers this programme as part of its humanities provision. Students considering the programme should expect a curriculum grounded in classroom instruction and discussion-based teaching typical of philosophy degrees, with attention to the surrounding region's own historical and cultural context woven into the university's broader academic mission.
