Description:

The MA provides students with a unique opportunity to engage with an international network of medical historians. Students of the MA have the opportunity to receive additional training and present their research to other History of Medicine students at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine, University College, London.

The MA fosters a lively intellectual community and provides students with rigorous training in analytical and presentation skills. The completion of an original thesis in particular allows students to develop expertise in time- and project-management, writing with clarity and precision, and communication skills. This expertise is vital to a variety of careers such as teaching, all forms of media, politics and academia. The MA also provides a historical context for those working in health-care. Students on the MA come from diverse academic backgrounds and pursue different careers.
