Master in Ethics

The Master in Ethics enables students to:

• acquire fundamental knowledge in ethics;

• learn to apply this knowledge to case analyses and topical issues;

• learn transdisciplinarity, by attending classes in different ULB faculties and institutes: Philosophy and Letters, Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Social and Political Sciences, Solvay Brussels School Economics & Management, Psychology and Education, Environmental and Land Planning Management, etc.;

• benefit from advanced and up-to-date training, with guest speakers in applied ethics from Belgium and abroad.

This Master sets itself apart from others with the diversity and complementarity of its three specialised modules, each of which tackles a major current topic.

This Master offers a rich and stimulating learning environment: classes are given by specialists from ULB's various faculties and institutes, as well as by Belgian and international guest professors invited as part of the Chair in Ethics. The teaching staff is available to advise students on their seminar work and dissertation.

The Philosophy of Science and Technique optional module is exceptional in offering many opportunities to take advantage of classes given in other Faculties. This openness towards other disciplines helps to encourage philosophical reflection based on sound knowledge and a range of practices. This option is organised in partnership with the University of Liege and the Catholic University of Louvain.
