MA History

The MA History course consists of broad, thematic taught modules which cover an expansive chronology. Our staff is all individual experts in their chosen field, and their variety of specialisms mean that we are able to offer modules covering from the Middle Ages all of the ways through to contemporary history. Offering a flexible approach to study, this course incorporates five core modules, which mix conventional historical study with training in research methods. We include close consideration of the big interpretative questions, animating the study of history today. A particular strength of the course is the way in which it familiarises students with digital history projects and contemporary debates. In addition to the taught modules, you will also complete a dissertation under the supervision of one of our specialist historians. Throughout your studies, you will have access to our leading learning facilities and you will be welcome at academic events and seminars hosted by the new Institute of the Humanities. This includes the fortnightly History Research Seminar, where we welcome historians from throughout the world to show us their latest research.
