Reading Course in Applied Ethics

The department may under certain circumstances offer a course in addition to the standard courses. In this situation FI5204 is offered, and the first date of instruction, forms of assessment etc. will be provided at the start of the semester.

The learning outcomes of a master’s course in applied ethics are manifold. Students acquire knowledge of the history of ethics and applied ethics. They also learn about different fields of applied ethics. Further, they learn how to identify a moral issue and achieve methodological competence for analysing and solving moral problems. Through thesis work, the students learn how to delimit, plan, carry through and present an analysis in applied ethics.
