About this program
The ethics of research are under increasing scrutiny in higher education. Most researchers are now required to report, or at least consider, the ethics of their research approach. In subjects involving human subjects, researchers may have to submit their research proposal to a formal ethics panel. Together, these two courses cover the key considerations, provide students with a clear framework in which to evaluate the ethics of their research and introduce the UK legislation relevant to studies involving human subjects.
