In association wih the UCD Centre for Ethics in Public Life (CEPL), UCD School of Philosophy is offering an MA that provides philosophical training in Ethics, as well as enabling students to experience a context for professional Ethics through inter-disciplinary elements of the programme. Ethics is understood broadly as the study of how to behave well, and includes elements of moral philosophy and political/social theory.
The programme is available over 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time. There is one core module entitled: 'Ethics in Public Life' (PHIL41510). In addition you must select three modules from a list of Philosophy Ethics modules (see below), as well as one other MA Philosophy module and two modules from a list of modules provided by other disciplines (see below). These are indicative list of modules and there may be some minor changes:

Career
As graduates of this module you will be well-placed to understand and help deal with ethical issues in areas such as government, healthcare, business, agriculture, planning, education, law and journalism. But you will also have had the opportunity to develop a theoretical understanding of the nature of Ethics and its place in human life more generally. Having an understanding of Ethics, both at the level of theory and in its practical contexts is of obvious benefit in a very wide variety of career paths.
