Ethics, Science, and Policy
Learn how to evaluate and develop policies for some of the most pressing issues in society! You will study and practice ethics and philosophy of science to influence and develop policy on topics such as education, healthcare, risk management, taxation, and research.
Policy design has many different aspects that impact people and society. The world needs individuals like you who can connect facts and values, offering solutions to both common and complex problems. These skills are now more crucial than ever and form the core of our curriculum. By merging ethics, science, and policy, you study policy making and analyse arguments for and against proposals, strengthening the case for change.
Core Skills Development
Evaluating and developing policies involves absorbing scientific findings for decision making, applying theoretical insights to practical situations, and understanding the consequences for those affected by policy implementation. The courses are structured to prioritise your development of essential skills in:
- summarising, critically examining and evaluating current research literature in areas relevant to policy development.
- describing and analysing philosophical concepts, theories, and problems relevant to the evaluation and use of research literature.
- presenting research findings to a broad audience.
- developing theoretically informed reasoning in specific problem areas related to philosophical issues in policy work.
- formulating theory-based policy recommendations and assessments of a normative question in a particular policy area based on new research.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
Jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, prie anketos būtinai turi prisegti šį užpildytą dokumentą, patvirtinantį, kad studijuoji ir šiais metais baigsi savo studijas. Dokumentas turi būti patvirtinas universiteto administracijos.
Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Svarbu, jog anglų kalbos testo sertifikatą ir visus kitus reikalingus dokumentus atsiųstum iki balandžio 10d. Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:

- Bachelor's degree
- English corresponding to the level of English in Swedish upper secondary education (Engelska 6)
Upon successful completion of studies, you will be well prepared for careers in various policy areas as well as eligible for further studies and research at doctoral level. Job market opportunities lie above all in planning, development, management, and evaluation work, e.g., in the private and public sector within both national and international organisations. Examples of activities where this profile is in demand are policy work within public activities, such as think tanks, municipalities, and regions.
