Prospects after the Bachelor's study program

Master's study program

Training to become a secondary school teacher requires completing a Master of Education with the same subject combination as your Bachelor’s degree. The University of Stuttgart allows you to continue your studies directly with the Master’s program in Philosophy for Teacher Education. 

If, after completing your bachelor's degree in teaching, you decide that you do not want to become a teacher, there are other Master's programs available to you at the University of Stuttgart.

Job & career

In addition to the qualification obtained through the state examination to become a teacher of Philosophy and Ethics at a secondary school, graduates of the Philosophy/Ethics teaching qualification are also employable in a wide range of roles, due to the skills acquired during their studies. There are few professional fields specifically reserved for philosophers. Philosophy graduates are, however, in high demand due to the skills they acquire or further develop during their studies, such as connected and interdisciplinary thinking, rapid and thorough analysis of complex issues, adept engagement with interdisciplinary contexts, and strong communication and mediation abilities.
