About the Programme

Improve your scientific literacy, ethical decision-making, critical research and communication skills and make yourself an invaluable asset to employers and academic programmes worldwide.

 
Specialize in the practical application of scientific research and its impact on societies and take the 18-credit Minor in Biomedicine, Ethics and Society.  This interdisciplinary minor provides students from Humanities, Science & Technology, Social Sciences and Law with a solid foundation in understanding the history of biomedicine in our society, and the ethical issues that can arise in biomedical settings. It provides students with an opportunity to reflect on how societal developments have led to specific kinds of ethical concerns, and how different groups in society have been – and continue to be – affected by differential treatment in science and medicine.
 
Graduates who have pursued courses offered in the Minor may go on to post-graduate research programmes in scientific research, public health, policy, law, journalism, medical ethics, philosophy and the history of medicine.
