Postgraduate Degree in Environmental Ethics

We seek to attract two types of participants:

• Young people who want to start their professional career with solid knowledge and skills in addressing the environmental ethics issues that will permeate their professional performance and that they will inevitably encounter.
• Professionals with a certain track record and an interest in enhancing ethical thinking in the workplace, as well as improving knowledge and skills in detecting and addressing associated ethical issues.

It’s offered in a blended method to make it more accessible because we know schedules are often challenging.

The programme is taught in a blended method, combining face-to-face synchronous sessions and asynchronous sessions on an online platform.

Asynchronous work is done through the virtual campus and includes readings and work with other materials: conducting exercises, participation in discussion forums, virtual campus work, reflection, and personal research.

The synchronous work takes place at the sessions and/or via streaming. In these sessions, students will have the opportunity to resolve doubts, analyse cases, and participate in debates to deepen, reflect on, and give concrete answers to the issues studied and the problems detected in their professional practice.

The programme can also be done in a 100% online method where the learning methodology pivots around the virtual campus and in which students have access to different teaching materials (texts or audiovisual materials), including recommended and complementary literature. Moreover, the campus provides meeting spaces for students and professors to carry out and discuss hands-on exercises, participate in debates through the forums, and provide regular tutoring for each student.
