First stage BA students must take all their electives from the list of Non-Philosophical Electives below; they may not yet take electives
from the list of Philosophical Electives.
Second and third stage students may take all philosophical and non-philosophical electives. Service-Learning courses are only open to
third stage students.

Non-Philosophical Electives

At least 30 credits must be chosen from any of the following groups.

Third stage students (students who have to obtain no more than 75 credits to obtain the degree) may propose non-philosophical KU
Leuven courses (in English or Dutch) that are not included in our list, with a maximum of 10 credits. In this case they need
permission both from the teacher of the course and from the programme director of the Institute of Philosophy.
It is recommended that the students respect the course progression concerning the level (i.e. introductory courses first) and if
possible the historical period.
