Prerequisites
- High level (3rd or 4th year) undergraduate student
- Minimum GPA 3.4
Important note:
Students must remain registered as an undergraduate student at their U.S. or Canadian home institution while participating in the program. The student's home institution must complete the Learning Agreement after acceptance into a project, even if credits will not be transferred to that institution. Transfer of credits is decided by the students' home institution.
Submitting an application, does not guarantee that the student will be offered a placement. The research projects are also available to our domestic degree students; therefore, projects may already be full at the time of applying. Final decision on your admission is solely taken by the Research Supervisor at the host institution.

The Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law (CBMER) is an interdisciplinary centre within the department of Public Health and Primary Care. Its expertise spans a wide variety of disciplines including ethics, law, philosophy and theology and maintains close links with various medical and care disciplines.
The CBMER team consists of professors, postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates across the different disciplines. Staff members have extensive teaching obligations and are mentors of numerous master and PhD projects (for students in bioethics, theological ethics, pharmaceutical ethics, nursing ethics, medical law, management of healthcare, etc.)
The research conducted within CBMER is organized along 5 streams: ethical, legal and social aspects of genetics and genomics; ethical and legal approaches of elderly care and end-of-life care; ethical and legal issues in organ donation and transplantation; research ethics and ethics of research; and the legal regulation of the healthcare professions, both in European and comparative law.
