Department of Philosophy
The Department of Philosophy is a lively community of philosophers engaged in a wide range of philosophical research projects. We offer rigorous and competitive graduate and undergraduate programmes which train students in traditional core areas of philosophy and provide them with opportunities to actively participate in our various international and often interdisciplinary research projects. The Department of Philosophy also coordinates the translation of philosophical classics into Estonian and engages with issues of concern to the broader public with the twin aims of encouraging their widespread and reasoned debate and motivating ethical and pro-social action.
The department has five chairs:
- history of philosophy
- practical philosophy
- philosophy of science
- theoretical philosophy
intellectual history
In addition, the Centre for Ethics operates along the Department as a consortium.

Faculty and their main research topics
Doctoral studies / Junior Research Fellowships in Philosophy
Doctoral theses under supervision
Defended Doctoral Dissertations
The PhD programme lasts for 4 years. There are several ways to complete doctoral studies, though for all doctoral researchers, the doctoral supervision, research, and study opportunities are based on the same quality standards. Those accepted for a junior research fellow position have an employment contract with the university as well as a student status. It is possible to combine your day job and doctoral studies as an intersectoral doctoral researcher by doing research for a company or institution. In considered cases, it is possible to complete your doctoral studies as a student while continuing to work in a job unrelated to doctoral research.Read further about the doctoral studies career pathways.
