> The primary strength of the Graduate School of Philosophy and Religion is
> its diversity with its trans-cultural and multi-religious atmosphere. It
> is rooted in both, tradition and contemporary and innovative thought, by
> bridging continental and analytic approaches, Eastern and Western
> traditions, and diverse religions and faiths. The international faculty
> has ten permanent members trained in different traditions. It offers an
> extremely intensive teaching-learning environment, with a low
> professor-student ratio and convenient evening classes. The weekly
> research seminar class allows students to actively engage with peers and
> professors concerning their research projects. All classes are held on Hua
> Mak Campus, located between city center and the new international Airport.
>
> In a rapidly globalizing world which exacerbates ethnic and religious
> tensions it is important to teach students to be both, critical, creative
> and respectful of diverse older traditions. Graduate Students of
> Philosophy and Religion are prepared for systematic, independent, and
> innovative thinking, analyzing, and argument construction across
> religious, cultural and disciplinary boundaries. Therefore our students
> are very well equipped to identify, moderate and solve personal, social,
> environmental and political problems. They are in a position to consider
> unfamiliar ideas, to evaluate opposing arguments and to achieve
> cooperation and compromise in conflict situations.
>
> PhD and MA Degree holders in Philosophy and Religion are found in diverse
> professional fields such as NGO?s, teaching and research, governmental
> offices, diplomatic service, military, police, intelligence, publishing
> and media, counseling and consulting as well as in professional ethics
> advising (environmental, business etc.).
