The entrance examination consists of a debate on the dissertation research project (max. 10 points) and a test of the basic prerequisites for studying the field and basic orientation in the field (max. 5 points).

The interview questions verify the candidate's eligibility for the dissertation project and focus in particular on the chosen topic of the research project, which must reflect the theoretical and methodological knowledge of Applied Ethics. Both the quality of the research project and its inclusion in the research projects carried out by the Faculty are assessed. A total of 15 points can be obtained in the entrance examination. A candidate who scores less than 6 points in the evaluation of the debate on the dissertation research project cannot be admitted. The Dean will set the score threshold for admission based on the result of the admission procedure and taking into account the economic and capacity possibilities of the Faculty.
