Courses on the graduate level
The Centre for Medical Humanities hosts the Medical Humanities Graduate programme. Within this framework, we organize interdisciplinary PhD-courses aimed at doctoral students in biomedicine, humanities and social science subjects.
In the spring of 2025 the course "Vulnerable evidence: Trust and mistrust in medical knowledge" 7.5 credits will be organized within the master's program in the history of science and ideas. The course is open to advanced level students and doctoral students in all faculties.
Introduction to the medical humanities
The Centre for Medical Humanities offers doctoral students in biomedicine, health, humanities, and the social sciences a course that introduces medical humanities as a field of research. The course was first organised in 2023, and is now offerend in a slightly adjusted form.
The course covers core themes, key challenges, and developments in the field. The course is taught by researchers from a broad spectrum of biomedical-, health-, humanities-, and social science- disciplines, whose approaches to medical humanities offer a multifaceted insight into current research.

Medical knowledge is a central part of how contemporary people understand and relate to themselves. The covid pandemic contributed to further putting medical knowledge in focus for the general public and the politics of the day. This course is aimed at students at master's and doctoral level in the humanities, social sciences, and medical sciences with an interest in medical humanities, the history of medical knowledge, its reception and application, and how social and cultural aspects interact with medical knowledge.
