Ethics in Higher Education for Teaching Professionals

About this course

The course is intended for faculty members, academic teachers and researchers in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and will help them recognise, understand and address ethical issues in personal, institutional and professional contexts. Course participants will be asked to reflect on existing policies and practices within their institutions, and more broadly, within the higher education sector. Knowledge and tools will be provided to reflect on ethical dilemmas in the context of teaching, conducting research, accompanying students and engaging with higher education policies through the lens of an ethicist. Course participants will be guided to analyse relevant case studies in view of developing ethical frameworks such as codes of ethics, regulations and other standardising instruments appropriate for their teaching praxis.

  • Analyse, interpret and evaluate relevant information and ideas, and propose solutions from different theoretical ethical perspectives or approaches and apply them in their area of study or work in higher education.
  • The key learning outcomes of this course centre on the knowledge of core ethical principles, standards and competence in executing a detailed analysis of ethical dilemmas, and skills relevant for employability in constructing a framework for a higher education institution's code of ethics.
