Bioethics: universities and degrees

In order to improve the understanding of the issues and challenges of bioethics, several universities are setting up study programmes around this theme. These degree programmes exist in France, the United States and the United Kingdom, among others.

Scientific Activities

University diploma in bioethics at the University of Poitiers

The University of Poitiers is renowned for the quality of its teaching in the medical field, and it is only logical that it should offer a diploma course in bioethics applied to clinical research, the end of life and procreation.

This programme invites students to push back the limits of ethical reflection, taking into account the evolution of culture and thought in today’s society and the advances of science. Bioethics training is primarily intended for health professionals, legal professionals and members of the health administration with a diploma in practice.
