Our Mental Health, Ethics & Law MSc course is delivered by two internationally recognised centres of excellence and provides an integrated, strongly interdisciplinary, education in mental health, ethics and law. It equips graduates to become leaders in healthcare, mental health law or policy. As a student on the programme, you will have the unique opportunity to study alongside others from a wide range of academic and professional disciplines, at the heart of London’s legal and psychiatric world. This course is primarily taught at the King’s College London Strand Campus, with teaching on some modules also taking place on the Waterloo Campus or at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience on the Denmark Hill campus. As indicated in the module list, some optional modules are taught exclusively online.
