For the acquisition of the certificate, you need 12 credit points in at least 4 courses (usually 3 credit points per course). These are divided into two modules:
1. Ethics basic course
At least one basic ethics course must be completed, which introduces the basics of ethical argumentation.
There is a variety of differently designed basic courses to choose from. Some introduce the fundamentals of ethics based on historical positions, others systematically based on ethical types of theory, others use examples based on a certain topic (e.g. sustainability).
2. Societal, subject-related and professional ethical topics
You must also complete at least 3 themed courses on social, subject-related or professional ethical topics:
- Societal ethical topics are e.g. euthanasia, dealing with refugees or animal ethics.
- Subject-related ethical seminars deal with specific ethical questions, e.g. Biology or normative foundations of science in general.
- Professional ethics courses revolve around e.g. the ethical dimensions of the teaching profession or the ethical responsibility of managers and entrepreneurs.
The courses can be freely selected and combined, so that, for example, three courses on societal ethics can be completed.
Here you will find the range of courses with creditable courses for the Ethics in Practice Certificate.
You will also find an overview of the creditable courses also in the last part of the TCP course program.
