Teaching at the Centre for Research Ethics & Bioethics (CRB)
Students, scientists, professionals and decision-makers all experience ethical dilemmas. We provide the tools they need to explore the values at stake, reflect and manage ethical problems.
Building knowledge and ethical competence
We provide ethics teaching and training for undergraduate, master and PhD students at Uppsala University. The Centre offers flexible ethics training modules for research ethics and academic integrity that can be tailored for different fields and different professions. We also deliver communications training for PhD students and researchers.
For PhD students
We provide mandatory research ethics training for PhD students in medicine, pharmacy, science and technology, and teach for other disciplinary domains. We also provide training in popular science writing and communication for doctoral students in medicine and pharmacy.
For staff
Knowledge about regulatory frameworks and guidelines is key for science and research of good quality. We have developed training modules that are available for staff at Uppsala University.
Our teaching philosophy
Good education rests on a solid foundation of research. Good teaching begins in the teacher's own knowledge and competence. Questions are at the core of training and education, with examination becoming an integrated part of learning.
Ethics for master level
The Centre offers three master level courses for 7,5 credits each at the Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences, covering neuroethics, ethics and public health & ethics in research, writing and communication.
Ethics for future professionals
Ethical dilemmas and value conflicts arise every day, in every workplace. Uppsala University is providing skills for future professionals by integrating ethics in the syllabus for several education programmes.
