This postgraduate course is unique in teaching the collective history of science, medicine, environment and technology. It is also unique as it offers modules that combine imperial, ethical, and military history with general areas of history of science and medicine. You will learn from experts working in these diverse fields, being taught how different societies, cultures, and races have conceptualised disease, reacted to changes in environment and created different technological artefacts and scientific knowledge. You will also be introduced to the major and recent historiographical and methodological approaches, be familiarised with the main archives in the UK and encouraged to approach the history of medicine, science, environment and technology from past as well as contemporary concerns.
