A program that will guide you through transcendental properties of being in a multidisciplinary and 100% online experience”  

What is science and what is it not? This is the opening question to Epistemology. There are many schools of thought that defend the underlying relationship between Metaphysics and the development of empirical knowledge through a unified conception of reality, establishing, as such, the limits of ontology. Philosophy of Science arises from this basis, thanks to which, human beings apply certain meanings to concepts based on the analysis and evaluation of procedural issues that precede it: a strategy, a rule or a series of steps that result in an ultimate goal and its achievement in an effective manner.  

Thanks to the exhaustive work of a group of experts in the Humanities, TECH has been able to launch this complete and comprehensive program in Epistemology and Philosophy of Science. It is an academic experience through which students will be able to intensively go through the most relevant issues in Metaphysics over time, and delve into the relationship of this discipline in the development of knowledge and the conception of nature. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to delve into the origins of philosophy and retrace its history from Humanism and the Renaissance (with special emphasis on its leading authors), to conclude by analyzing the relationship between philosophy, experimental science and the environment that surrounds it.  

To this end, they will have 1,500 hours of diverse material, including an exclusive seminar where they will deal with current bioethical problems and their philosophical transcendence, as well as their application in everyday life. It is, therefore, a unique academic opportunity to access a training program through which graduates will work in the search for the most logical answers about the universe and existence in a 100% online format, without fixed schedules and at their own convenience.
