The Centre for the Humanities and Health aims to create in the UK a world leader in research in the Medical Humanities through a multi-stranded programme of research on "The Boundaries of Illness". It engages scholars from arts, Humanities and health disciplines nationally and internationally (from Literature, Philosophy, History, the Visual Arts, Film Studies, Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry, Medicine and Nursing) all of whom will support the development of a new Master's programme in the Medical Humanities, and extend the College's existing capacity in Medical Humanities at masters, doctoral, post-doctoral and international levels.
