Institute for Medical Humanities

We conduct interdisciplinary research into what we call 'hidden experience' and investigate experiences of health and illness which are marginalised, difficult, unspeakable, unacknowledged, or invisible. Our aim is to transform knowledge within and beyond the critical medical humanities, improve health policy and practice, and benefit the lives of communities and individuals.

IMH is proud to announce a new suite of postgraduate programmes in Medical Humanities. This interdisciplinary programme introduces students to a variety of different disciplinary perspectives and methodologies for studying health and wellbeing. The courses are designed to be accessible and meet diverse student needs with options taken part-time or full-time, as distance learning or in-person, and as a diploma or Masters. An IMH Masters scholarship is also available for ethnic minority students.
