The Europäische Akademie GmbH and the Johannes-Gutenberg Universität in Mainz offers an advanced Master’s correspondence course in Medical Ethics. This course is unique in Germany. It can be completed on an extra occupational basis and single modules from the course are accepted as further training courses required for doctors. The Master’s degree has been accredited since the spring semester of 2006.

About the course:

The Europäische Akademie first offered the Advanced Master’s Degree Course in Medical Ethics in the spring semester of 2005 together with the Distance University Hagen and the Johannes-Gutenberg Universität in Mainz. It accounts for the fact that medical ethics has taken on greater significance in medical care, medical research and health care policy in recent years. Medical advances lead to morally problematic options which require ethical reflection. Doctors and other medical staff are required to be capable of ethical reflection as a secondary skill in their professional life. The course consists of four semesters, and its contents (eight modules made up of six to eight classes) are sent out in written form and must be completed in self-study. The FernUniversität Hagen’s well-proven concept of distance learning allows medical staff to acquire extra occupational competence in the field of medical ethics and an accredited degree (M.A. “Medizinethik”).
