Why You Should Study This Course

On our MA History, you will learn to critically examine different periods of history - including social, cultural, political, and public history - and conduct original research at both local and global levels. Each module (including the final major project) will introduce you to new research methods and the analytical questions that go with them. This will allow you to develop an understanding of the problems inherent in the historical record, such as the many contrasting viewpoints, and give you the means to test them effectively. As well as using both digital and archival resources, you will develop the skills required to critically engage with non-textual historical documents such as artifacts and visual sources as presented by museums, film, or artwork.
