History of Medicine / Science in London

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to work out whether to apply for a part-time Masters in London.

My first degree was History & Philosophy of Science at Cambridge, about ten years ago. I'm very interested in History of Medicine and History of Science. I've been looking at the UCL course in History of Medicine, and the UCL / Imperial History of Science, Technology & Medicine course. I'm just a bit worried that these taught masters seem to be aimed at science graduates making the move into the humanities and that I'll end up writing much the same essays about Popper and Kuhn and all those guys that I wrote ten years ago.

I've managed to find some course outlines for the Imperial course and that confirms my fears - but haven't managed to find much detail on the UCL History of Medicine course.

Is anyone studying either of those courses? Any advice, recent experiences, example essay titles, etc very gratefully received!
