IDEA Bursaries and Scholarships available for current and former medical professionals for this course in 2014.
The MA in Biomedical and Health Care Ethics offers a rigorous grounding in health care ethics and biomedical ethics, provided by tutors from the Centre with expertise in teaching ethics in medical disciplines. Students learn about the ethical issues that arise across all areas of medicine and health care practice, and can specialise in areas of particular interest.
The Health Care Ethics Masters program was established at the University of Leeds in 1991, and more than two hundred students have taken the course. On average, at least 15% of students achieve a distinction (the highest available classification for their degree) each year, and this is reflected in the wide range of careers that graduates have pursued.
The success of this MA was one of the reasons for establishing our Centre, and teaching on the course draws on our research expertise. Members of the teaching team have been involved in major research projects (including a £240,000 EU-funded project in biomedical ethics) and have produced a wide range of publications in ethics and medical ethics.
Eligibility:
Current and former medical staff who apply to the Masters and Postgraduate Diploma degrees in Biomedical and Health Care Ethics (either online or campus-based) are eligible to apply. Preference may be given to clinical staff.
Scholarship Value:
To encourage and enable medical professionals to develop their expertise in ethics we are offering four bursaries of £1,000 to students on either the MA Biomedical and Health Care Ethics or the MA Biomedical and Health Care Ethics (Online).
Number of Scholarships: Two bursaries will be awarded per program.
