Program description
- Is business is about doing the right thing for and by everyone?
- Serious about building and protecting your business’s reputation?

The Warnborough MA in Business Ethics and Social Responsibility delves into issues which are now very current, but which have far-reaching consequences for businesses, stakeholders and the communities with which it interacts. The course is suitable for any type of business or organisation because it begins with a philosophical base. This understanding can then be applied to any specialisation of business.
