Studia doktoranckie

  • Center for Ethics, University of Tartu (Estonia) – Interdisciplinary Research Training Group “Ethics in Science and Society”; Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Margit Sutrop


  • Ethiek Institute, University of Utrecht (Netherlands) – Netherlands School for Research in Practical Philosophy; Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Marcus Düwell; Study Program:

    “Netherlands School for Research in Practical Philosophy (NSRPP) offers: (a) to PhD candidates in ethics, a programme of training, and embedment of their research in a broad network of researchers, (b) and to researchers in ethics, a forum for joint research and study activities. In addition NSRPP seeks (1) to improve the quality of Dutch research in ethics; (2) to stimulate cooperation, and (3) to enhance international visibility of Dutch work in ethics.

    NSRPP sees research in the field of fundamental ethics as inseparably linked with that in the area of applied ethics. On the one hand ethical concepts, theories and methods constitute the basis for work in applied ethics and, as such, are relevant to actual political and social discussions. On the other hand issues in the area of applied ethics give rise to (re)new(ed) fundamental reflection on concepts, theories and methods in fundamental ethics.

    NSRPP considers it necessary that in both fundamental and applied ethical research links are established with relevant special sciences (jurisprudence, political and social science, moral psychology, neuro and cognitive sciences, biomedical sciences, etc.).”


  • Interdepartmental Research Center, University of Tübingen (Germany) – Graduate School Bioethics; Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. phil. Eve-Marie Engels; Study Program:

    “The academic program includes a structured graduate training in interdisciplinary bioethics, which has proven itself in the first phase of the graduate school. In the second and third phase of the international focus has been strengthened. The events will be held, depending on the context in English or German, where all members are expected to dominate passive College German. Per "generation" of Doctoral Student/inn/en, the program is designed for 4 semesters.”


  • Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics (United States) – Ph.D. in Bioethics and Health Policy; Spokesperson: Prof. Nancy Kass, Dr. Holly A. Taylor; Study Program:

    “The Johns Hopkins PhD training offered in Bioethics and Health Policy is distinguished from other bioethics training programs in two ways:

    1. It focuses on bioethics as it relates to questions in public health and health policy (rather than, for example, medical ethics). Thus students consider ethical issues in population health practice, research, and policy, examining questions in domestic and international research ethics, genetic screening policy, HIV screening, and social justice/resource allocation.

    2. Our program provides rigorous training in empirical research methods. By the end of their training, students in this program are prepared to provide not only normative recommendations regarding ethics and public health policy but also to function as independent researchers conducting empirical bioethics research related to public health and health policy.

    Bioethics and Health Policy is a track within the Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Bioethics and Health Policy track is designed for students who want bioethics to be the distinguishing characteristic of their careers in public health. Students complete the Departmental core requirements, including courses in health policy, epidemiology, and biostatistics. Specifically for this track, students also are required to complete coursework in bioethics, moral philosophy, and public health law. These requirements are satisfied, in part, through the Department of Philosophy of the Johns Hopkins University and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University.

    Original doctoral research conducted by students focuses on analyzing empirical information (primary or secondary data) about specific areas of public health or health policy and examining the ethical implications of their findings. Students are required to have a theoretical ethics chapter in their dissertations in addition to the other chapters traditionally required.”


  • University of Crete (Greece) – Joint graduate Programme “Bioethics” (JGP); Spokesperson: Stavroula Tsinorema; Study Program:

    “The Joint graduate Programme “Bioethics” (JGP) is the outcome of the joint academic effort of the Department of Philosophy and Social Studies, the Department of Medicine, Department of Biology and the Department of Sociology, of the University of Crete (UC), Greece. It is staffed by 20 faculty members from the above Departments and 20 from other Greek and European Universities and research institutions.

    It has been in existence since the academic year 2003-2004. It is the only graduate Programme in Bioethics in Greece, and since its establishment it has been receiving EU funding.

    The JGP offers Masters and Doctoral Degrees. Students with First Degrees from Greek or accredited foreign Universities are eligible to apply. Students are required to complete the MA in four (minimum) to six (maximum) semesters and the Ph.D. in six (minimum) to twelve (maximum) semesters.

    The M.A. programme consists of coursework and research. The curriculum is divided into two types of courses: Compulsory and Electives (24 credit units). Courses are normally taught by weekly seminar. Each course is examined by one or two term-papers, to be submitted at the end of the term in which the course is taught. Only occasionally, a written exam at the end of the term may be required. In addition, students have to successfully complete, under supervision, a Masters thesis (25.000-30.000 words), which attracts 6 credit units. The total number of credits constituting the programme is 30. Its structure is interdisciplinary. Emphasis is given on the philosophical foundations of Bioethics, the bio-medical scientific background as well as its sociological and political dimensions, while a significant part of students’ training focuses on methods of moral reasoning in medical decision- making and health care policy.

    In addition, students are required to attend workshops, experts seminars and lectures conducted by internationally renowned scholars in the special fields of Bioethics.

    At the PhD level, students are advised by individual members of staff. They complete a thesis under the supervision of a three-member committee, while a seven-member committee conducts their final public viva voce, in conformity with the standards laid down in the Greek law.”


  • University of Zurich (Switzerland) – Ph.D. Program "Biomedical Ethics and Law"; Spokespersons: Prof. Dr. Nicola Biller-Andorno; Study Program:

    “During the last decades, developments in biomedical sciences have challenged social norms, ethical and legal boundaries. Cloning, end of life decisions, embryonic stem cell research, assisted reproductive technologies are only some of the issues that have triggered ongoing political, philosophical, and legal debates. There is an increasing need for experts in biomedical ethics and law who can adequately address the emerging issues at the national and international level. The PhD Program in Biomedical Ethics and Law (PhD BmEL) aims to provide qualified participants with the opportunity to acquire such expertise.

    In particular the PhD BmEL’s goals are to: deepen participants’ understanding of global issues in biomedical ethics and law, equip participants with the methodological tools used in bioethics and law to approach ethical dilemmas that arise in biomedicine and health care, provide the intellectual environment as well as guidance that will allow participants to design and implement their own research project and provide opportunities for students to interact with a network of experts in the field of biomedical ethics and law

    The program is for medical doctors, lawyers and other qualified participants with an interest in pursuing research in biomedical ethics and law. Students can be admitted through the Faculty of Medicine or the Faculty of Law. They may follow one of the two distinct tracks with concentration either on biomedical ethics or law.”


  • School of Law, University of Manchester (United Kingdom) – Doctoral Programme (PhD) in Bioethics and Medical Jurisprudence; Spokesperson: Professor John Harris; Study Program:

    “This is a PhD by research programme, with required taught courses. All elements of the programme serve the preparation of a doctoral thesis, referred to here as the Structured Doctoral Thesis. The programme starts with taught elements – lecture courses and seminars – which provide the students with a solid knowledge base and homogeneous theoretical and methodological framework for the research and writing tasks. The progress of the research will then be closely monitored in research seminar courses, presentations, and supervisory meetings. Since this is a PhD programme, independent research and writing, relentlessly supervised, forms the main part of the studies.”
