Master of Arts in Medical Humanities

Program Overview

Medicine is one of the great human activities. The changes that medicine has undergone, and the problems and opportunities it raises, should be of interest to everyone.

In this MA you are introduced to many questions asked about medicine from within the humanities. You have the opportunity to examine the history of Western medicine and to consider how medical practice is presented in, and shaped by, literature and the arts. You have the chance to reflect on what is involved in classifying something as a disease or an abnormal mental state, and to explore various ethical and legal problems that arise within medicine. You will also learn about the history of the medical humanities as a field and the debates that have surrounded its identity and role.
