CBmE has a diverse range of expertise that means that we can provide supervision for thesis projects across the range of topics in bioethics that employ either philosophical or empirical research methods. Suitable topics will include those within the domains of clinical ethics, public health ethics, research ethics, reproductive ethics, neuroethics, and the ethics of biotechnology, including AI.

Please email individual faculty members (Assistant Professor and above) to discuss their interest and availability for supervision prior to application. It is extremely important that you provide a short proposal for us as part of this process. The proposal should include a research question(s) that you will seek to answer, an outline of your proposed methods, a brief discussion of the background literature on your chosen topic, setting out how your work will engage with this material. It would also be beneficial to submit a writing sample or a publication.

Scholarship and financial aid opportunities may be available for outstanding prospective students.

Please contact our Director of Graduate Education, Professor Angus Dawson, at ajdawson@nus.edu.sg in the first instance with any questions.
