Second-Level Master in Philosophical Ethology and Environmental Ethics

The Second-Level Master in Philosophical Ethology and Environmental Ethics is offered by the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Department of Letters and Philosophy. It is organised into thematic modules on biological evolution, philosophical ethology, anthropogenic impact on the environment and the ethics of ecological transformations, and ends with a final paper and an in-person discussion. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts one year and is worth 60 credits. The format is mixed, with e-learning, workshops and in-person activities, based in Frosinone. The cost is €2,400. Compulsory attendance is at least 70%.

The aim is to train professionals and scholars to address environmental and social crises, developing critical skills on the social, ethical and scientific implications of bio-evolutionary transformations. Career opportunities include environmental policy analyst, consultant, educator, environmental expert and manager and roles in research and science communication. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
