The M.A. in Ethics and Public Affairs (MAEPA) enables students to develop multiple interpretive perspectives (religious and philosophical) on perennial and contemporary issues in different contexts of public affairs. It aims to help students appreciate and respect diversity within modern society in order to assess and handle conflicting values in critically informed and creative ways. MAEPA helps students further develop and reflect on their own values, so that they will be able to justify their own decisions, judgments and convictions, and so become informed and responsible citizens in their community, nation and the world. It also equips future secondary school Liberal Studies teachers with subject knowledge of most modules. The objectives of the programme are to stimulate the students’ interest in, and a reflective understanding of, public affairs, and to enhance awareness and knowledge of the value dimensions of discourses on economic, political, legal, social, cultural, and environmental affairs.
