Museum Graduate Course
From 1996 to 2006, the Museum offered a one-year taught course for graduate students, in the ‘History of Science: Instruments, Museums, Science, Technology’. The students were awarded the degree of Master of Science from the University of Oxford, after following a course of lectures and demonstrations, sitting a written examination and preparing a dissertation.
Dr Jim Bennett and Dr Stephen Johnston taught the course in collaboration with Robert Fox, Professor of the History of Science, other members of the Faculty of Modern History and guest speakers.
