Program details
Overview
This postgraduate diploma (DESS) in applied ethics (ethique appliquee) at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi totals 30 credits and is delivered in person on the Saguenay campus, with admission in the Fall term. The program trains specialized practitioners in the broad field of ethical intervention, enabling professionals from varied disciplinary backgrounds, including education, health and social services, community organizations, and private enterprise, to acquire the knowledge, skills, and professional judgment needed to carry out ethical intervention and consultation competently. The curriculum addresses ethical questioning arising from professional practice and develops participants' capacity to analyze and respond to ethical issues in their field. The program suits professionals already working in roles that raise ethical questions and who want a focused, credit-bearing graduate credential in applied ethics rather than a full master's degree.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Regular entry (university-studies basis) requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent with a cumulative average of at least 3.0/4.3. Applicants without this may apply on a sufficient-preparation basis if they hold training equivalent to undergraduate university studies plus professional experience that has raised ethical questions; they must submit a 2-6 page text explaining their motivation for graduate study in ethics, evaluated by the program director, with an interview possible for borderline files. The formal quality of the French in this text is decisive, and a poorly written or incoherent submission is rejected immediately.
