Testimonials

This study programme helps develop deeper thinking and teaches you to analyse phenomena from different perspectives. I believe that in the times we live in, critical thinking is an essential skill that we should apply more widely. Many of the tasks allow freedom, creativity and even provocation. Philosophy encourages us to ask questions and does not oblige to know the answers, so this programme is a healthy exercise for the brain, reinforcing the skills we already have.

After completing a bachelor’s degree in engineering, I wanted to pursue my studies in a slightly different discipline. After master’s, my real career started – during my studies, I founded my first company in consulting and training. I chose a thesis topic that was interesting and meaningful to me, and this exploration has continued to this day.
