Master in Global Bioethics M.S. Online

About us

The online Master in Global Bioethics is a Master of Science degree offered by the School of Bioethics of the Anáhuac University, Mexico, and co-sponsored by the School of Bioethics of the Ateneo Regina Apostolorum and the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights, both based in Rome.

 

There is a pressing need for such a program in a world marked by divisions of religious creeds, cultural differences, and ideologies. Our Global Bioethics program aims to bridge the gap between a purely secular approach and faith-based cultural perspectives. We strive to avoid narrowly focused pragmatic solutions and post-colonial ideologies by maintaining an integral, person-centered, and intercultural approach to bioethics. In this program, students can experience an international experience through exchanges with others from different nationalities, professions and experiences.
