The MA in Philosophy and Ethics of Mental Health programme brings together philosophy and psychiatry. Attracting a mix of academically orientated philosophy graduates and mental-health professionals, it offers an outstanding example of the value there can be in engaging philosophy with practice and policy. It is available in full and part-time mode, both on-campus and also in a well-thought-through and excellently-presented distance learning version.

The PEMH programme offers six modules which can be taken either purely by distance learning or with additional local teaching. Each module can be a freestanding Postgraduate Award or part of the full Masters programme. The distance learning material includes about 500,000 words of specially written teaching material as well as copies of essential readings.
