History of science courses
In ancient societies, sacred astronomy and alchemy were the sciences of their day, showcasing power, knowledge and ambition. Later, societies saw the emergence of metallurgy, herbal medicine and combat engineering.
Today, we speak of much broader fields of science, technology and medicine, linking the universe to the smallest parts of our bodies.
Shared across the ages, are the links between knowledge, application and society.
In our history of science courses, you will therefore explore and contextualise knowledge, discoveries, innovations across different epochs and regions and unpack the implications for society or humanity more broadly.
