Overview

This Master's in Ethics (Professional Stream) at Universite du Quebec a Rimouski is a 45-credit, on-campus program delivered at the Rimouski and Levis campuses, connected by videoconference, with admission each fall and winter. The professional profile combines coursework with a 9-credit, 405-hour internship (15 weeks at 27 hours per week) and develops both a grounding in the theoretical foundations of ethics and the practical skills needed to perceive, analyze, and resolve ethical issues. Graduates learn to identify and analyze ethical dilemmas in real-world contexts, apply ethical concepts to concrete situations, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders facing moral or ethical challenges. Admission is open to holders of a bachelor's degree with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on 4.3, or, for Canadian applicants, under an experience base requiring two years of professional experience involving complex moral or ethical choices plus three supplementary courses. All candidates must demonstrate French language competency or pass an institutional French exam.
