available for MSc study in Science Communication, 2013-2014
CHSTM is offering two £5000 taught masters (MSc) student
bursary awards for suitably qualified candidates accepted for our full-time or
part-time postgraduate taught MSc programme whose intentions are to
subsequently pursue a PhD. The awards, which are tenable from September 2013,
will cover the entire tuition fee for UK or European Union students, or partial
support for students paying the higher international rate, who are equally
eligible to apply. They do not include a stipend or support for accommodation.
CHSTM is one of the world's leading centres for history
of science, technology and medicine and their relations with society, with a
growing focus on science communication. Our innovative MSc programme aims to
provide a comprehensive historical introduction to nineteenth- and
twentieth-century science, technology and medicine in their wider social,
economic, cultural and political contexts, including science communication and
the relationship between science and the public. It also offers systematic
training in historical approaches to a wide variety of scientific, technical
and medical knowledge and practices. We have a lively postgraduate community of
Masters and PhD students, and a large and successful group of postdoctoral
researchers. Our study facilities are excellent, and we have an outstanding
track record of progression from Masters to PhD, and from doctoral to
postdoctoral study. We pride ourselves on the interdisciplinary nature of our
programmes, and cater for students with a science background as well as those
arriving with a humanities or social science undergraduate degree. We offer a
range of MScs including the History of Science, Technology and Medicine;
Medical Humanities; and Science Communication. Our Research Methods in History
of Science, Technology and Medicine degree is an approved pathway to apply for
ESRC-sponsored PhD study.
The deadline for applications is 8 April. Application
forms and further particulars for the bursary awards and for graduate study are
