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.
