For the 2025/2026 academic year, the Faculty of Philosophy at the Pontifical Salesian University (UPS) is relaunching the Advanced Diploma in Philosophy, an initiative designed to respond to the growing desire for cultural and personal development.
The program is aimed in particular at professionals and enthusiasts from both technical-scientific and humanities backgrounds, offering a solid introduction to philosophical thought.
