The program incorporates aspects of ethics, political science and policy studies to create a well-rounded and practical foundation for future leaders and decision-makers.
The knowledge and skills gained in this program can be applied to a number of current issues. For example, encouraging ethical media practices, guiding ethical principles in emerging technologies, and developing policies that benefit people and the environment.
This program welcomes all individuals who are kept up at night by the daily news but who hold out hope that the world can be improved through practical reasoning.
As a student, you will gain real-world experience with two internships in the public service and/or non-governmental organizations.
In partnership with the school’s Research Centre in Public Ethics and Governance, this program also offers you the unique opportunity to work with professors and contribute to ongoing research projects. |
