Final project – Ethics
All Masters students are required to complete a level 1 ethics form to show that they have considered any ethical aspects of the work they’re doing over the summer. Every student must complete this form so when you’ve had your final project agreement agreed by your supervisor, please complete the following survey at the link. It will only take a few minutes, but should be a useful process to go through as it will help you to identify any ethical issues relating to the development and presentation of your work.
