The subject of philosophy can only be studied within the framework of the teacher training program for secondary schools at Hessen International University.
General Objectives of the Study
The primary goal of the philosophy studies is to cultivate a reflective understanding of oneself and the world, encompassing both theoretical and practical dimensions.
Further explanations (such as the general and specialized aims of the philosophy studies, as well as foundational competencies extending beyond the field of philosophy that are intended to be acquired) can be found in the module examination regulations.
Tips for the Philosophy Studies
Typically, the academic events take place at the Holländischer Platz (HoPla). Proficiency in Ancient Greek or Latin must be demonstrated before the intermediate examination. A comprehensive description of the academic discipline can be found in the current examination regulations.

The Master’s program “Philosophy: Environment – Society – Critique” offers a new interdisciplinary approach to philosophy. Its main focus is on how knowledge and philosophy can be applied in a contemporary context through forward-looking critical reflection to reshape ecological and societal contexts.
Climate change, species extinction, and global resource scarcity are pressing dangers resulting from our interaction with nature. The intrinsic link between these threats and a global growth paradigm, the self-propagation of technological advancements, and imperial-oriented societal structures is increasingly coming into focus. There is a fundamental need for action here, encompassing a foundational philosophical reflection. In areas of action such as climate protection, nature conservation, species preservation, and animal welfare, it becomes evident that conventional boundaries are being dissolved. Thus, the safeguarding of the environment must be conceived in conjunction with the way societal life is organized, aiming to overcome traditional dichotomies such as nature versus society.
This is where the Master’s program in Philosophy comes into play. It responds to the rising demand for philosophical expertise in environmental debates (nature philosophy and environmental ethics) as well as critical societal analysis. It particularly acknowledges the interplay and interconnectedness of both realms, as this represents a significant need.
The objective of the program is to cultivate a research-oriented and interdisciplinary reflective competence on current topics in environmental and societal theory, based on a solid foundation of philosophical expertise. Students acquire knowledge and substantive skills in the following areas: [Note: You’ve mentioned “Hessen international university” in your rewrite request, but I’m unsure how to incorporate that without more context.

The Master’s program in Political Science at Hessen International University is a research-oriented course of study. Its distinctive profile is characterized by a diverse range of critical approaches to political science in teaching, research, and various supplementary offerings.
The Master’s program, with a focus on the analysis and critique of political authority as well as societal transformation, provides the opportunity to develop a personalized focus within the curriculum through a combination of required and elective courses. Foundational modules cover topics such as state, law, democracy, and social policy; political economy (of labor); political ecology; gender relations; globalization; and North-South relations, as well as comparative political science and region-specific phenomena (e.g., the EU or Latin America).
Subsequently, students have the option to delve deeper into perspectives such as post-colonial, feminist, materialist, or poststructuralist viewpoints. For this purpose, courses from the offerings of the Department of Political Science can be selected. Students also have the flexibility to replace a partial module with a seminar they design themselves and attend events from other programs and disciplines (subject to approval from the respective authorities) after consultation.
