Note that the Graduate Diploma of Bioethics does not meet the entry requirements for the Master of Bioethics by coursework, the Master of Bioethics by research, or the PhD. Applicants who do not already meet the entry requirements for the Master of Bioethics by research or the PhD but who intend to proceed to either of those courses should apply for the Masters Qualifying in Bioethics.
Candidates must have (a) a degree in medicine or any other health science, in law, the biological or social sciences, or in a branch of the humanities, such as philosophy (or other degree as approved by the faculty board), requiring the equivalent of not less than three years full-time study in an approved tertiary institution; or (b) qualifications and experience which in the opinion of the faculty board are a suitable preparation for the candidate's proposed field of study. (One example of what faculty board considers suitable preparation for this course is where candidates have a General Nursing Certificate plus not less than five years of documented professional experience at a senior level, provided that such experience includes some professional writing and research, and that this experience is verified by two references from suitably qualified people.)
