MSc Health History

The MSc in Health History explores the last two-and-a-half centuries to seek the origins and impacts of our modern health experiences and expectations, together with the reasons they've changed so rapidly.

The degree is suitable for those from humanities, social science and health science backgrounds as well as those who have worked in the health professions. The MSc Health History is organised around the expertise of staff in the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare (CSHHH) Glasgow. The CSHHH is research collaboration between historians of medicine and of health and healthcare at Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde universities.
