“The degree program offers the opportunity to gain insight into various practical fields. During my practical placements, I had the impression that my knowledge of ethics was truly in demand.”
I decided to pursue this Master's degree because I am interested in the intersection of medicine and ethics—and because the practical modules provide insight into how theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice.
The Master's program in "Social Ethics in Healthcare" has sharpened my understanding of ethical challenges in the healthcare sector and equipped me with theoretical and practical tools for analysis and problem-solving.
I am completing my Master's degree with insights into various institutions, which has helped me solidify my preferences for my future professional life.
This dual Master’s program is designed for students who wish not only to understand ethical issues in healthcare from a theoretical perspective, but also to actively help shape them. The program combines academic reflection with practical experience in various healthcare settings.
You are a good fit for this degree program if you:
The practical components are organized and supervised by the university. In this way, you gain experience in various healthcare settings and integrate ethical reflection directly into practice.
Supporting ethical decision-making processes in complex healthcare environments.
Addressing social and healthcare-related challenges with responsibility and ethical awareness.
Connecting people, institutions and ethical perspectives in research, education and organizational development.
The dual master’s program combines academic reflection with practical experience in healthcare settings.
The four-semester program includes:
• interdisciplinary courses
• practice-oriented study components
• ethical reflection on current challenges in healthcare
• independent research and project work
By closely linking theory and practice, students develop professional, ethical and communication skills for a wide range of roles in healthcare contexts.
Introduction to ethics, social ethics and medical ethics as well as interdisciplinary foundations.
Further specialization, practical experience and ethical reflection on current healthcare challenges.
Independent academic research and work on a practice-related topic.
I (Julia Westendorff) would be delighted to advise you personally on the study programme, application process and practical components of the dual master's programme.
