There is a significant difference between teaching philosophy and the ability to develop philosophical thought. However, both concepts are closely related, since in order to understand this discipline, it is necessary to understand, first, its origin, its history, its reflection and the transcendental and holistic character that has led thousands of professionals to ask themselves what the ultimate purpose of everything that happens in reality is. From the days of Socrates to now, more than 2,500 years have passed in which contributions to metaphysics have resulted in critical thinking, capable of answering questions such as existence, truth and ethics.

However, it is a very complex area, which is why, on many occasions, transmitting it becomes an arduous task for its professionals. Based on this and in order to provide them with the most innovative and effective teaching guidelines and strategies, TECH and its team of experts in Humanities, have developed this extremely complete Professional Master's Degree. Through the 1,500 hours of theoretical and practical content, graduates will immerse themselves in an extensive journey throughout the history of philosophy and its high points, as well as in the cultural schools of thought that made the discipline as we know it today.
