Information about the programme: here
This two-year, tuition-free Master of Arts (MA) programme, taught in English, is conducted in cooperation with the Centre for Ethics, an internationally renowned research centre. The programme offers full specialisation in the two main domains of practical philosophy: ethics and political philosophy. The study plan uniquely integrates problem-oriented teaching to guide students in independent and critical thinking about highly relevant and pressing phenomena, such as issues of marginalisation and exclusion, the nature of democracy, extremisms on social media, the ethics of AI and robotics, and the climate crisis. The programme has a strong research orientation and our students
receive systematic training in academic writing skills. The best graduates will be prepared to apply for PhD study at leading academic institutions or to join our vibrant multinational PhD community.
From the start, our students are invited to participate in the abundant research activities of the Centre for Ethics (More information here). The Centre regularly organises international conferences, workshops, and seminars with high-profile invited speakers, such as Raimond Gaita, Veena Das, Naomi Scheman, John Lippitt, Cora Diamond, Stephen Mulhall, Sophie Grace Chappell, and Toril Moi. The Centre hosts prestigious research projects, for instance the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action fellowships. It also maintains a rich network of international collaborations with universities such as Genoa, Manchester, Åbo, Dublin, King’s College London, Melbourne, and Uppsala, ranging from joint grant projects to Erasmus partnerships.
