Health and wellness are vital concerns in our communities, and UCC has responded with our MA in Health & Society. This groundbreaking collaborative program, coordinated by the Department of Philosophy, School of Public Health, and Department of Economics, offers a multidisciplinary exploration of health alongside its social and policy influences.
Our MA curriculum caters to graduates from diverse backgrounds including medical sciences, economics, and humanities, delivering an exceptional critical examination of modern health discussions across personal, societal, and worldwide contexts. While focusing on health, the program extends beyond healthcare alone, recognizing health as both a medical and societal matter. Students are encouraged to investigate health through multiple lenses, drawing on expertise from various fields such as medicine, epidemiology, philosophy, economics, sociology, social policy, and law.
