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

Overall, the programme has exceeded my expectations. More importantly, it has shown me what is possible in an academic environment despite my physical limitations. In short, the format of the MA in Medical Humanities fully reflects the principles of the discipline.

We have designed a bespoke programme in Medical Humanities that is unique both in its accessibility as well as the 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.
