About the module

From students sharing answers to corporations dodging taxes, ethics breaches often hit the headlines. Stories of scandal, fraud and cheating are always big news, but it can be hard to relate to them.

This short course focuses on how these stories can inform our day-to-day working lives and our approach to tackling ethical dilemmas and threats that come up with our own organisations and clients.
