Course summary

Our innovative master’s in Global Medical and Health Humanities explores the forefront of knowledge and practices in medical and health environments around the world. The medical and health humanities are fast-evolving, interdisciplinary fields that marshal expertise in arts, humanities and social sciences to tackle healthcare challenges and drive positive future change. The key values informing this exciting new field of study are interdisciplinarity, criticality, collaboration and creativity. A range of team-taught modules draw on the theories, methodologies and practices of humanities subjects. You will explore and address some of the major health and medical issues facing the world today and have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge health innovation. Topics might range from addressing inequalities within health, exploring the need to create inclusive and diverse hospital environments, to engaging with difficult and sensitive issues such as sites of trauma, poverty and environmental crisis in healthcare settings. The School of Global Affairs offers two master’s degrees that share a common ethos and course structure. Each provides distinctive yet interconnected opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge, relationships and partnerships needed to meet the global challenges of our time. You’ll take part in subject-specific modules designed to build in-depth knowledge of global medical and health humanities. You’ll assess, engage in and create responses to real world issues.
