The School's Social Ethics Research Group (SERG) is
delighted to announce the launch of its innovative MA in Social Ethics and
Public
Advocacy:
http://www3.newport.ac.uk/courses/displayCourse.aspx?course_id=224
This course provides the ideal combination of theoretical
and practical knowledge and experience for those wishing to embark on or
progress in careers in the fields of public advocacy, political activism, and
public policy at both domestic and international level.
The coursework includes theoretical and applied modules.
The theoretical component is centred around key issues in ethics, human rights
theory and law, and political theory, whereas the applied modules explore the
concrete application of theory to a broad range of issues such as the
environment, international justice, disability, and multiculturalism.
Students may choose to study several of the applied
issues, or to focus on just one of them by tackling it from different
perspectives.
To complete the course students may write a research
dissertation or carry out an appropriately selected internship at a relevant
NGO or public sector organisation, which will enable them to develop
professional experience and links.
