MA Literature and Medicine - King's College, London, UK
The MA in Literature and Medicine is the first full master's programme
in this interface field. It focuses on the role of biographical and
narrative thinking in the practice of health care; the use and abuse
of literary concepts in nursing and medicine; literary depictions of
the body, illness and psychological ill-health; the relationship
between medicine and other intellectual endeavours such as theology,
rhetoric and the sciences; and the representation of psychiatry and
psychiatric theory in twentieth-century literature and film.

The MA draws students from health care studies and humanities
backgrounds including literary studies, medicine, surgery, psychiatry,
nursing, social work and science communication. It is especially
suited to careers in journalism, medical humanities education or as a
route into doctoral research. The degree is offered in both full-time
(1 year) and part-time (2 year) modes in the context of a thriving
programme of related seminars in the Department of English at King's:
