This course covers the ethical dimensions of public policy and corporate action in fields such as: health policy; the environment; international relations; business investment and planning; employment relations and the financing of public policy; for those students who have a background in politics, law, sociology, or related disciplines, this is an opportunity to extend their interests in a moral and philosophical direction; equally, for those who have a philosophical background, there is the possibility of developing a better understanding in relation to issues of public policy; given the increasing sensitivity of governments, public bodies, and corporations to the moral dimension of what they do, our course can naturally lead to work in a variety of fields such as: the government; the civil service; think tanks; the health service; corporations; and non-governmental organisations.
