Feedback from graduates and undergraduates
Alex M.:
- during my master's studies, I was convinced of the professionalism and rich subject field of teachers. Well-structured training program helped me to prepare quickly enough, and then successfully defend my master's thesis.

Anna T.:
Magistracy taught me to highlight the main thing in a series of phenomena and events, more demanding to assess their abilities and capabilities.
I can say unequivocally that the master's degree is a "formula for success" and long-term growth.

Elena R.:
Training in the magistracy was for me stunningly interesting, necessary and very productive. I am grateful to the teachers of the Department of philosophy for the opportunity of dialogue in the classroom, the opportunity to listen to their own opinion about a particular studied author, scientific school and scientific concept. Master's degree was not just a study of the history of philosophy, it was a deep study of philosophical problems. Workshops-disputes allowed to test their own hypotheses, contributed to the formation of new ones.

Victoria Sh.:
- Thanks to the master's program "Philosophy", I decided to link my professional activities with science and the implementation of scientific and educational projects. Master's degree at BSEU is a good chance to write a really strong research work.
The master's degree helped to deepen and systematize the knowledge and skills of research work. I am proud that I studied here. Now I continue to study in graduate school and work as an assistant at the Department of philosophy.

Alexander P.:
- Master's degree develops narrow-profile and analytical competencies, prepares the Foundation for a scientific and managerial career. In addition, a master's degree is a mandatory requirement for those who plan to study in graduate school, continue research and become part of the scientific community.

Ksenia M.:
- Largely due to the master's program "Philosophy", I decided to link my professional activities with science and the implementation of international scientific and educational projects.

Nikita CH.:

- I want to say about the most important thing – it's about the attitude of teachers to us as future authors, researchers. Discussion of philosophical and social problems, free and friendly exchange of views created an unforgettable atmosphere.
