The Faculty of Philosophy has pursued, in the recent years, the renewal of the Institutional Cycle, of the Specialization and of the Doctorate, following the innovative lines traced by the Second Vatican Council, by the Apostolic Constitution Sapientia Christiana, by the encyclical letter, Fides et ratio of John Paul II and, finally, from the document produced by the Congregation for Catholic Education (CEC), Decree of Reform of Ecclesiastical Studies in Philosophy of January 28, 2011, with application documents, subsequently merged into the Apostolic Constitution Veritatis Gaudium (January 29, 2018).
The renewal kept in mind a dual purpose that the Faculty has gradually assumed over the years. This is about a “dual purpose” and not of “two purposes”, because they are two components of the same mission of our Faculty.
COURSE SCHEDULE FOR OBTAINING DOUBLE TITLE
Following a specific agreement, concluded on 30 October 2019, between PUL and the University of Perugia, it is active by the A.Y. 2020-2021 a two-year course for the attainment of the “double degree” of Licentiate in Philosophy, according to the university system of the Holy See, and of a Master’s Degree in Philosophy and Ethics of Relations (LM-78), according to the Italian university system and with all the legal effects created by the Master’s Degree in Philosophy obtained in an Italian University.
On the basis of specific tables of recognition of the respective itineraries, during the two-year period, the student enrolled at the PUL must obtain a minimum of 30 to a maximum of 45 ETCS / CFU at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Perugia.

Founded in 1958, the magazine is the official organ of the Faculty of Philosophy and its scientific objective is to deepen and re-present, with languages and methodologies appropriate to our time, the essential contents of what is called philosophia perennis, which has Thomas of Aquinas as one of its greatest exponents. The researches hosted there address the great metaphysical, ethical, anthropological, epistemological and history themes of philosophy, through a fruitful comparison with contemporary thought.
