This practice-based program utilizes the insights and skills of the humanities disciplines to support the development of the professional capabilities, values, and behaviors defined by the GMC and NMC and core to clinical practice. Its focus on the integration of medicine and humanities will help you develop a deeper understanding of your clinical practice, locate ways of enhancing patient care, and explore strategies for your own self-care. You will acquire new skills in verbal and written communication, research, and critical analysis that will expand your existing professional skill-set. This program is relevant for practitioners across all stages of medical and healthcare careers: in medicine, from foundation years, through specialty training, to consultant level; in nursing, from early-career through to specialist and consultant levels. Its intensive delivery makes it possible for full-time clinicians and healthcare professionals, from the UK and overseas, to combine study with clinical commitments. Graduates go into careers in healthcare, medicine, education, and management. Possible professions include healthcare service manager, general practice or hospital doctor, or health promotion specialist. This degree may also be useful in becoming a higher education lecturer, management consultant, or science writer.
You must have graduated from a UK medical school or hold an equivalent second-class honors degree from an overseas medical school. Applicants from other healthcare or professional backgrounds relevant to medicine and medical regulation may be admitted to the program. Such applicants must hold relevant professional qualifications and/or a second-class honors degree (2:2 or above).
If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, the requirement for this program is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 7.0, with not less than 6.5 in each of the sub-tests.
