Description

Scientific research does not occur in an ethical vacuum. Researchers around the globe and in every discipline are expected to be ethical in their work. This module examines the fundamentals of ethics as it applies to science, and it provides opportunities for students to test ethical thinking in new settings. Core ethical theories are surveyed together with current cases, selected by students each year. Much of the teaching is discussion-based, with students analysing their chosen cases using the ethical theories. Students are assessed by written work, and they are encouraged to develop the case they personally choose, in discussion with the tutor. No prerequisites.
