Masters: MSc/MPhil in HSMT

MSc/MPhil in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology

The Master of Science in History of Science, Medicine and Technology is convened by the History Faculty. This specialist one-year programme offers a range of options in the History of Science, Medicine and Technology. Students may specialise in the history of science and technology, or the social history of medicine, although the boundaries between these areas are deliberately permeable.

The expertise of scholars in Oxford covers most of the main areas and periods of the history of science, medicine, and technology. A varied programme of seminars, lectures, and conferences enables graduate students to obtain knowledge of subjects beyond their chosen speciality and to meet visitors from elsewhere in Britain and abroad. 

Masters Funding

Alongside eligibility for a Wellcome Award in the area of medical humanities, Master’s students can apply for the Oxford HAPP MSc Scholarship in the History of Science, and all applicants who submit by the January deadline will automatically be considered for Oxford Clarendon Scholarships.  Applicants may need to provide further details to be eligible for a number of specific scholarships for master’s degrees in History.
