DURHAM UNIVERSITY (UK)
MA IN THE HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND MEDICINE (HPSM)
2006/07 Programme
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
Durham University’s Department of Philosophy, Centre for the History of Medicine and Disease (CHMD), and School for Health are now accepting applications for the 2006/07 class of their MA Programme in the History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine (HPSM).
This one-year (two years part-time) degree provides students with a deeper understanding of historical, cultural and philosophical issues in science and medicine from antiquity up to the present day. Its primary aim is to show how the intellectual vibrancy of the humanities is relevant to a deeper understanding of past and present scientific and medical issues.
DURHAM UNIVERSITY
Durham University is England’s third oldest university. A leading British research institution, its lecture halls and colleges are located in the historical district of Durham City, a world heritage site that also includes a Romanesque Cathedral and a Norman Castle. The university has state of the art facilities located in and around the city. There is also the newly built Wolfson Research Institute on the waterfront of Queen’s Campus at Stockton-on-Tees. The Department of Philosophy, the main site where students take most of their modules, is located in an attractive eighteenth-century building in the centre of Durham, close to lecture rooms, the university library and computer labs. The department received the highest mark in the 2001 teaching assessment (QAA 24 points) and the high evaluation of 5 in the 2001 national Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
SPECIALITIES OF THE HPSM MA STAFF
The wide spectrum of academic staff from the Department of Philosophy, the School for Health, and the Centre for the History of Medicine and Disease allows students to focus their papers on a wide variety of topics, some of which include:
History and Philosophy of Biology and Evolution
History and Philosophy of the Physical Sciences
History of Medicine and Public Health
Medical Ethics and Bioethics
Medical Humanities
History and Philosophy of Environmental Thought
History and Philosophy of Sex, Gender and the Body
Science and Religion
Metaphysics and Science
History and Philosophy of Psychology
ADMISSION

In the past, the programme’s unique focus has attracted strong applications from Europe, America, China and India. We regularly admit students with degrees in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and medicine. For admission, a high mark on your first degree (or equivalent) is required.

Students (and their Teachers) might be interesting in both viewing our Religion, Philosophy & Ethics course blog at www.r-p-e.blogspot.com - and contributing to the debates there.
Our students are enjoying using it as a forum - and a number of 'outsiders' have joined in too - feel free to bring to attention of students - or join in yourself...
