Staff at
the Open University have extensive expertise in the history of medicine
especially from the ancient to the early modern period and research is
channelled through a research group based in the Arts Faculty.
Applications

The Open

the Courtauld Institute of Art, Goldsmiths, University of London, and the
Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent and Sussex) and successful applicants
for PhD study will be able to apply for studentship funding.
Applications for funding will be considered by the Open University with
the best applicants put forward to the CHASE selection panel. Applications will
be considered on a competitive basis.

development opportunities, including the enhancement of public engagement
skills and placements with CHASE partner organisations in the UK and overseas.
