The Ethikum honours students who have dealt intensively with questions of ethics, sustainability and/or social and intercultural issues.

With the Ethikum certificate, graduates demonstrate their in-depth commitment to ethics and sustainability issues. In future job applications, for example, they can show that they have not only acquired specialised knowledge during their studies, but also in-depth socially and ecologically responsible thinking and action.

Achievements that can be accepted in the Ethikum include

• Courses that focus on ethics and/or sustainability
• Ethics and/or sustainability-related term papers or project work
• Own activities in student initiatives related to ethics and/or sustainability (with qualified documentation and reflection)
• Documented and reflected participation in extra-curricular events related to ethics and/or sustainability at the university (e.g. relevant lectures from the Studium Generale, lecture series on resource efficiency, etc.)

In the first three weeks of each semester, you will be invited via a central email message to an information event on the Ethikum, where everything you need to know about the Ethikum will be presented and where you can ask your questions.
