BMedSc(Hons) - Bioethics at Oxford Covid-19 impacts
- International placement may not be an option in 2021
For the Oxford Bioethics placements, we have agreed with the Oxford team that the students can plan to work from Australia based with their Monash supervisors until restrictions on staff and student travel are lifted (assuming they do get lifted at some point next year).
Students will liaise with their Oxford supervisors via zoom and email until that happens.
For the last ten years, medical students have undertaken BMedSc(Hons) in Bioethics at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at Oxford University under the supervision of Professor Julian Savulescu. The Faculty is pleased to announce that such an opportunity will again be possible in 2021 in conjunction with the Centre for Human Bioethics at Monash University. Students can be based in Oxford at the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics or in Melbourne at the Monash Centre for Human Bioethics.

Interested students are asked to submit an expression of interest that includes a:

Students choosing an Oxford based program will be co-supervised by a member of the Uehiro Centre and a member of the Centre for Human Bioethics. Students will be provided with access to bioethics educational resources and have the opportunity to attend relevant lectures, seminars and workshops. However the work will be primarily research and a high level of independence and maturity are required.
