Durham University has the highest concentration of Medical Humanities scholars in the UK. Studying the new Master of Medical Humanities will give you exposure to and interaction with some of the leading scholars in this area.

We have designed a bespoke programme in Medical Humanities that is unique in its breadth of its interdisciplinarity. Students can expect coursework that fits their schedules, modules taught by a wide range of experts, and an educational model that facilitates peer-to-peer learning among an international student cohort.

Superb course design: dividing the content into sections titled “read”, “watch”, “explore” and “discuss” caters to different learning styles and makes the materials come alive (and adds an element of… fun!). A varied range of assessments invites deep reflection and can be also readily applied in different professional and academic contexts.
