This module engages with the intersection of public ethics and public policy. In the first half of the module, it does so by looking at the domain-specific ethical issues raised in particular policy areas (e.g., migration, disability, gambling, etc.). In the second half of the module, it considers ethical issues that are internal to the policy process itself (e.g., representation, corruption, lobbying, etc.) By combining these two perspectives, the module illuminates how central ethical issues are to public policy.

In this core module, students engage with public history as it is currently practised across the heritage and education sectors. The module considers the roles of museums and other heritage sites within society, and the challenges associated with producing and practising public history. Within sessions, students learn how to effectively communicate history outside of the academy and take part in workshops where they develop relevant practical skills, such as lesson planning, podcast production, and exhibition design.

This Module, the first of two Public Law Modules, considers fundamental questions of constitutionalism common to both UK and EU legal orders. You will examine the UK Governmental and European Union (EU) institutions, the separation of power between them, and the modes of exercise of power in the UK and EU. This includes the differing legal competences of the domestic and European actors, and the reasons for those differences, as well as the interaction between the two regimes. You will examine the importance of values such as the rule of law, the separation of powers and the conferral of powers, in shaping the understanding of constitutionalism in both legal orders. An important aspect of this module will be to study the theory, enforcement and application of rights in the UK and EU legal order. In particular, you will study the common law protection of rights in the UK and the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 in implementing the human rights guarantees of the European Convention of Human Rights. You will also appreciate and examine the importance of rights in the EU legal system, including the growing significance of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the function of economic rights in the internal market. Finally, you will be introduced to the rules of administrative law which prevail in each jurisdiction and the conceptions of administrative justice which stand behind those.
