Take a philosophical approach to understand the human psyche. By delving into philosophical texts and reflecting on theories and findings from other relevant disciplines - such as psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence - you will gain more insights into mental phenomena, such as ‘emotions’, ‘intelligence’ and ‘cognition’, as well as moral and existential questions. Philosophy of Mind and Psychology is a track of the MA Philosophy. Apply a philosophical approach to study questions at the intersection of philosophy and psychology and reflect on the mental phenomena that jointly make up the ‘human mind’.
  • Address essential philosophical questions such as:
    'What role do and should emotions play in our decision making?'
    'How do we cope with crises, risks, uncertainties and turbulence?'
    'How susceptible are we to external influences and how should this affect our claims about being free and autonomous agents?'
    'To what extent is the human mode of coming to grips with reality through (knowledge-based) understanding itself limited, and a hindrance in understanding the human mind?' 
    'What does psychology, as a discipline, have to contribute to our understanding of all this? And how can philosophy help deepen that understanding?'
  • Profit from small-scale working methods with a great deal of interaction, which enables in-depth analysis and discussion with fellow students and lecturers. 
  • This program can also be followed part-time.

You are certainly eligible to apply if you have a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. The Admissions Committee will assess whether your degree is equivalent to a Dutch Bachelor's in Philosophy. If you have a Bachelor’s degree in another relevant discipline, such as Psychology, Culture studies, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Economics, Law, Public Administration, Communication Sciences, Organization Studies or Human Resource Management, you are also most welcome to apply, but most likely a pre-Master's program will be required.
