Overview
Key facts
By understanding the rationales behind different systems of governing research in different contexts, we will reveal the moral and political values that underpin different organisational rules around research.
Taking a novel multidisciplinary perspective, the course draws critically on philosophical, legal and empirical data to inform the values that should be used in the rules introduced by legislators and professional policy-makers. It also aims to define measures for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of governance systems, particularly in relation to health across different sectors.
University College London (UCL) offers the Research Ethics and Regulation programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Student-led tutorials: Each student will be expected to lead at least a discussion segment in a tutorial session during the course to develop and demonstrate conceptual and empirical understandings and their progression towards the learning outcomes.
- Health, technology and public policy case studies: Each student will give a 10-minute presentation during the course on a topical case study from a country or sector of their choice, as a way of illustrating their engagement with and interrogation of contemporary health, technology and public policy issues.
- Contribution of readings and to discussions on online forum: Students will be encouraged to suggest relevant readings on weekly topics as a demonstration of their own reading outside class.
