Had 3 years of philosophy :
Starting in last year secondary studies : Descartes, Hume, Hobbes, Kant, Nietzsche (later I read more Kant), Plato, Aristoteles. The common stuff.
During my one year of Social Worker (normally 3 years of university studies) mostly religious philosophy and the whole bunch of greek philosophers and the usual, common classics (was quite interesting, gave me a vision of philosophy as a whole and I could pick my favorites out)
At Royal Military Academy it was mostly Ius at bellum, Ius in bello and the use of power by the government and social philosophy : Grotius, Thomas d'Aquino, Plato and Aristoteles, Marx & Engels, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Malthus, Pareto, Ricardo, Weber...

Can't remember everything, loved it for shure. Read some of the books, it isn't that difficult if you read the originals (but Kant was really heavy...). I don't know if there's an english translation but look up Sophie's World by Jostein Gaardner (or so). Very pleasant reading.
If I could go back to university (when I'm 64) I'd like to do some philo but it's such an egoistic study...
