Master of Arts in Medical and Health Humanities
Program Overview
Our MA Medical and Health Humanities offers you a dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of health, illness and medicine through cultural, historical and philosophical perspectives. Whether you are a healthcare professional seeking to deepen your understanding of the human experience in healthcare, or someone with cross-disciplinary interests in medicine and health, this course has been developed to give you the chance to explore the fascinating intersections of medicine, culture and ethics.
Why choose this course?
- It is uniquely designed with two different pathways, one of which is ideal if you are a medical and healthcare professional, and the other which is ideal if you are coming from an arts, humanities or social sciences background. You can attend classes for either pathway on campus, online or via a combination of both.
- It is taught by research-active scholars and professionals working in healthcare, policy reform and activism and is enriched by its close connection with Birkbeck’s Centre for Medical and Health Humanities, which hosts events, workshops and panel discussions, and provides funding for student-led initiatives.
- You will be able to tailor the course to your academic interests, career aspirations or personal passions, choosing from a range of modules spanning literature, social sciences, art history, cultural studies, history, philosophy, film and geography.
