This course is particularly well suited if you are a health care professional or scientist who faces complex ethical issues in your working life. The course is also valuable if you are involved in the development of public policy and law, or simply wish to explore issues of public concern. The course is designed in ways to suit you with little or no prior educational background in ethics or philosophy, and is also suitable for philosophy graduates with an interest in further studies of bioethics. Teaching in the course is designed to improve your analytical skills, encourage you to think critically about the ethical issues raised, and to develop independent and well-informed views about the ethical and philosophical questions addressed in the course.
