This unique multi-disciplinary social science programme examines how societies organise, ritualise, theorise and symbolise death, and how social practices around death change. It enables students to ''think outside the box 'of their own profession or discipline, not least by learning alongside students from other professions, disciplines and countries. The MSc Death and Society is a one-year full-time or two-year part-time postgraduate programme. Also available are the Certificate and the Diploma in Death and Society - these are intermediate postgraduate qualifications covering parts of the MSc programme, and can be taken in their own right. Individual units can also be taken on a stand alone basis.
