Students must be registered on a postgraduate History degree at Shanghai University, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences or Fudan University. The expectation is that the student will complete the classes in the UK in year 2 of their Chinese Masters studies, and complete a dissertation in both English and Chinese in year 3 to enable them to graduate with a Masters degree in both the UK and China. However, it is also possible for students completing a PhD at one of the Chinese partner institutions to apply for this opportunity as long as their supervisor provides support.
Applications should include the following:
A one-page cv outlining key academic achievements.
A 500 word application. This should address two questions:
1. What research topic in the Medical Humanities/Health History would you like to complete as part of your Masters degree?
2. Would you prefer to study on the degree at Manchester or at Strathclyde? Please explain why. To find out more about the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) and the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare (CSHHH) Glasgow follow the links below:
