What is a Master in Applied Ethics? This is one of many paths of study a master's student may pursue. Applied ethics is a discipline that branches out of the humanities and ethics, but which can be taken in a number of different directions. For this reason, every applied ethics program is unique. Some focus on applied ethics within the context of law, while others engage more specifically with bioethics, tackling difficult questions as to the ethics of bioengineering. In any case, applied ethics generally involves a diverse curriculum, ranging from courses in political philosophy to ethical theory. Students are encouraged to grapple with timely ethical dilemmas and to learn how to advocate for a given side of the argument.

The main benefit of taking a Master in Applied Ethics is the critical thinking skills the curriculum fosters. Students face a challenging, stimulating classroom environment for the duration of the program, and they learn many valuable and transferable communications and research skills. This experience can be quite useful in many different fields.

Because each program offering a master's degree in applied ethics is different, there is no real rule of thumb for how much the programs cost. Registration and enrollment costs vary from school to school. For more specific information, contact the admissions office of each program.

In terms of potential careers, a Master in Applied Ethics is a very worthwhile degree. The skills and experience it affords students are sought after in today's job market. Depending on the focus of the particular program, graduates can go on to pursue careers in bioethics, politics and law.

Featured

This two-year, tuition-free Master of Arts (MA) programme, taught in English, is conducted in cooperation with the Centre for Ethics as Study in Human Value, an internationally renowned research centre. The programme offers full specialisation in the two main domains of practical philosophy: ethics and political philosophy. It is ideally, but not exclusively, suited for students with a BA degree in general philosophy. The study plan uniquely combines historical and systematic approaches with a strong emphasis on contemporary and pressing issues. The problem-oriented interactive teaching encourages students to think independently and critically about phenomena that are highly relevant both within and outside academia, such as issues of marginalisation and exclusion, animal rights, nature of democracy and climate crisis. The study has a strong research orientation: Our students receive systematic training both in academic writing skills and in critical philosophical thinking to write an original MA thesis in one of the programme domains. The best graduates will be prepared to apply for PhD study at leading academic institutions or to join our vibrant multinational PhD community. -
