Objectives
One of the aims of the course is to increase students' sensitivity to the ethical aspects of psychological activity and to provide aspects and techniques for dealing with ethical dilemmas. Another goal of the course is to pro-vide clues to professional orientation and help students with career planning. During the course, we list the pro-fessional ethical norms, issues and possible ethical dilemmas related to psychological activities, more precisely research, scientific communication, clinical trials, and work and organizational psychological activities, and their possible solutions. In addition to professional ethics issues, we deal with professional tasks that can be per-formed with a degree in psychology, the competencies required for this profession, various psychological career paths, and further training and development opportunities in order to prepare for a career and support career socialization.
