This program approaches Philosophy from a global perspective, focusing specifically on teaching. Students can expect to gain a complete body of knowledge of the most fundamental philosophical themes, from the most purely theoretical and metaphysical to the most practical and active human issues.  

In today's job market, professionals from other fields who complement their education with programs in philosophy are highly valued and sought after. Philosophers' ability to see things from another point of view, to think, as it were: Outside the Box, is a fundamental asset in the world of work. 

Philosophy helps to see things, as the great Spinoza used to say: Aespecie Aeternitatis. That is to say, under a prism of eternity, knowing that in the great context of the world and the universe our actions are both relevant and insignificant. 

The role of philosophy as a consolatory discipline in the face of the evils and misfortunes in the world has always been fundamental, as it allows us to better understand our nature, our actions, our morality, and our being. In short, philosophy helps us to grow as people, to mature as individuals, to be more responsible citizens and to improve our work performance.  

Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to access the most important developments in philosophy applied to teaching. Guided by a very complete but very specific syllabus, students will acquire the knowledge and routines required to teach this subject or those applicable to other areas of life.
