The Department of Philosophy in the Salvatorian Institute of Philosophy and Theology follows the common norms of an Ecclesiastical Philosophical Faculty: to train students to investigate philosophical issues methodically, and to solve problems through rational arguments in the framework of a Christian view of the world. The students should come to the insight that God's Revelation and theology are not against human reasoning. They are rather related to the philosophical quest. They intend to contribute to the solution of human problems.

The Salvatorian Institute of Philosophy and Theology is also committed to stress those disciplines that bring to light the different values found in the various human cultures. The Institute is especially interested in promoting the enculturation of the Gospel in a context of African cultural diversity.

The Salvatorian Institute of Philosophy and Theology in Morogoro organizes a complete first cycle of philosophy that is extended to three academic years (six semesters). In such a space of time the students should complete all that the Pontifical Urbaniana University requires for the First Institutional Cycle and part of the second cycle (including special disciplines, and seminars in a philosophical framework).
