Ethics, Law, and Public Affairs MA

This interdisciplinary MA gives you a comprehensive engagement with questions of ethics, morality, public policy and law.

**On our MA you will harness the University of Warwick’s excellence in moral, political, and legal philosophy across three departments (Warwick Law School, Philosophy, and Politics and International Studies). You will explore prominent normative conceptions of ethics, morality, political philosophy, and the law, and how they apply to problems and concerns in modern societies. You’ll develop an advanced ability to evaluate laws, policies, social norms, and institutional rules from normative and moral points of view; develop your analytical skills, supported by world-leading academics and research; and build a platform for successful careers in politics, law, the public sector, and business - or to pursue a PhD in philosophy, law, and political theory. The course will draw upon Warwick’s research excellence in normative enquiry conducted through the Centre for Ethics, Law and Public Affairs whose activities will be available to you.\
