King's College London Master's Programs

MSc Medicine, Science & Society, King's College London

What is the impact of President Obama’s policies on the global economy of embryonic stem cell research? What ethical and regulatory issues does the current boom of personal genome tests raise? Issues like these lie at the core of the MSc Medicine, Science & Society at the Centre for Biomedicine & Society (CBAS), King’s College London. This MSc explores new and important areas for Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the social sciences, ranging from stem cells to nanomedicine. It explores the implications of innovative biomedicine for identities, innovations, bioethics, regulation, science, medicine, and healthcare. The MSc is well suited to social science, science and humanities graduates. Full/part-time options are available: www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/interdisciplinary/cbas/msc/index.html

MSc information leaflet: www.kcl.ac.uk/content/1/c6/02/50/21/MScMedicineScienceSocietyFlyer.pdf.

MA Bioethics & Society, King’s College London (New for 2010)

Developments in the biosciences raise important ethical issues that are increasingly being addressed by multidisciplinary research teams from the fields of philosophy and social science through, for example, the Wellcome Trust Strategic Award that created the London and Brighton Translational Ethics Centre (hosted at CBAS). This innovative MA in Bioethics & Society enables students to combine philosophical ethics modules taught by staff at the world famous Centre of Medical Law & Ethics (CMLE, School of Law) with social science and ethics modules from our CBAS MSc in Medicine, Science & Society. Students will be able to pursue their Dissertation with staff from CBAS and/or CMLE.  Full/part-time options are available: www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/interdisciplinary/cbas/mabas.html

King's College London is a global leader in health science research, hosting more Medical Research Council (MRC) Research Centres (five) than any other University. The CBAS MSc and MA therefore examine the social science aspects and ethical dimensions of innovative biomedicine in a unique supporting context. The courses also allow students to expand a specialist interest by selecting from an impressive range of Masters Options. There are clear career trajectories and exciting PhD prospects for those graduating from these two Masters course. The life sciences are a major growth area within contemporary social science, and are key areas for research funding.
