Program overview听

Leaders in health care wrestle with some of humanity's most significant concerns: ethical action, human rights, global justice, and understanding our relationship with the environment. With the Master's Degree Specialization in Bioethics, you will develop the conceptual frameworks and tools to address fundamental questions about life and the interventions by healthcare in research, policy and practice.听

Working closely with a faculty from medicine and law, you will expand your knowledge of modern research methodologies, knowledge and techniques needed to apply a bioethical analysis to your base discipline.听

The specialization combines course work, a bioethics practicum and a Master's thesis on bioethics that satisfies the requirements of the specialization and base discipline. Students graduate with a Master's degree in the designation of their base discipline (MA, MSc or LLM) with a specialization in bioethics. Students in the program are well-placed to continue in doctoral studies or as law or healthcare professionals.听
