We offer three connected pathways for taught Master's study:
The Medical humanities pathway combines historical understanding of medicine and healthcare with approaches from literary studies, the social sciences and the visual arts. It is available to medical students as an intercalated MSc, or more generally as a stand-alone course.
Science communication, newly launched as an independent programme for 2015, combines a theoretical grounding in history and policy studies with insight and experience from print and broadcast journalism, museums and public events, public policy and advocacy, and other professional fields.
