Training
The IEF supports and stimulates — invariably in accordance with the fields of expertise of its integrated members and in line with the institutional framework of the higher-education institutions they belong to — a variety of undergraduate and advanced training options, in the latter instance post-graduate programs (master's and doctorates) and post-doctoral or scientific specialization activities. Besides, the members of our team are constantly training, resulting in the increasing excellence of our Unit.
All these academic degree conferring activities shall be undertaken in compliance with the legislation currently in effect across the different higher education institutions to which the IEF integrated members are affiliated and require, on the part of applicants to the various degrees, official enrollment in those same institutions.
Given its international vocation and profile, the IEF also opens its doors to all those students from foreign institutions wishing to carry out or deepen their studies within the scientific framework of the research proposals of the members of the Unit.
While its theoretical core is articulated around philosophy, the IEF aims at fostering inter- and multidisciplinary training activities with a scientific horizon capable of adding value to the fields of inquiry of all its members.
Further information on training is obtainable either by contacting the e-mail address of the IEF (ief@uc.pt) or via the personal addresses of its integrated members, same as through our Faculty.
The Institute for Philosophical Studies is sponsored by national funds via FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., under the UID/FIL/00010/2025 project.
