Media Ethics

Overview

• There are seven distinct Applied Ethics degrees to choose from exploring applied ethics or ethics in relation to art and design, education, healthcare, media, medicine or politics.

• Students take four core modules to introduce the activity of philosophical thinking and prepare for the research project, followed by subject-specific modules taught by staff in the relevant area of the university.

• The research project, the culmination of the MA Applied Ethics at Brighton, consolidates the experiences, practices, and research skills developed on the course into an extended argument.

• Run through the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics, one year full-time and two year part-time options are available. Individual modules can also be taken as a professional development course or as a ‘taster' of what the full MA degree involves.

What are the ethical issues that inform the field of creative media and media research?

The MA in Media Ethics will introduce you to the core concerns of ethics, before exploring the ethical implications of creative and professional media practice and media research.

The first two core units, which students on all the degrees take together, are designed to introduce students to the activity of philosophical thinking. Two further core units, again taken by everyone, prepare students for their research project.
