  • DeadlineStudy Details:

Course Description

Our MSc History of Science, Technology and Medicine taught master’s course focuses on a broad range of mostly nineteenth and twentieth century case studies, from the local to the global.

Your studies will pay particular attention to the roles of sites, institutions, and schools of thought and practice, and to the changing ways in which scientists and medics have communicated with non-specialist audiences.

You will learn through lectures, seminars and tutorials and gain experience of historical essay-writing, before researching and writing an extensive dissertation on a specialised topic, supervised by experienced researchers.

This MSc focuses on humanities skills, but may be taken successfully by students from any disciplinary background.
