Course structure:
The program consists of four units of 12 points each. All students will take CHB4101 (Ethics), in their first semester. Normally, the next unit to be taken will be CHB4102 (Questions of life and death), followed by CHB4203 (Ethical issues in patient care), and CHB4215 (Bioethics supervised research paper). Full-time students will, however, enrol in both CHB4101 and CHB4203 concurrently, followed by CHB4102 and CHB4215 concurrently.
Advanced standing:
Candidates who have already completed a unit in ethics that, in the opinion of the graduate coordinator of the Centre for Human Bioethics, is of a standard at least equal to and of the same content as CHB4101 (Ethics) and covering essentially the same content as CHB4101 may be given an exemption with credit for that unit at the time of application. Normally, at least a result of credit must have been achieved for that unit, and it cannot have been part of another degree on the basis of which a candidate has met the entry requirements for the Masters Qualifying in Bioethics. If the equivalent unit in ethics was part of another degree on the basis of which a candidate has met the entry requirements for the Masters Qualifying in Bioethics, then an exemption without credit may be given for CHB4101.
