Student's Lecture Series
Each year, philosophy students organize a lecture series on a philosophical topic. They prepare a programme, invite speakers from all over the world and present the lectures themselves.
The lecture series is open to the public, but can also be booked by philosophy students in a major-programme (BA 120, MA 120 or 90) under "Other Curricular Modules".
Ordinarliy, the lecture series takes place on Mondays at 16:15 to 17:45 in the main bulidung of the University of Zurich. The first half is reserved for the talks of the speakers, followed by a Q&A in the second half.
