Since 2010, the programme has welcomed people from every professional and educational background — from teaching, journalism and social work, to business, healthcare, charity work and law. You don’t need prior knowledge of philosophy or ethics — just an open mind and a willingness to think critically about what is right, fair and good.
Through your studies, you’ll engage with the great ethical traditions and apply them to the pressing issues of modern society. You’ll learn from experts across ethics, philosophy, theology and the humanities, gaining both intellectual insight and practical wisdom.
When you graduate, you’ll join a thriving Ethics Alumni Network — a community of professionals and thinkers dedicated to bringing ethical awareness and leadership to every sphere of life.
Lectures are held on Tuesday evenings (6pm–10pm) across two academic years, with additional Saturday sessions in the first year — a flexible structure designed to suit working professionals.
