MA History

You acquire a substantial body of historical knowledge and apply, at a high level, the skills and methodologies of historical research. You demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of texts and an ability to marshal an argument in pursuit of meaningful questions about the past. Most importantly, you develop as a researcher, and the teaching model empowers you to create the methodological and theoretical rigour essential to producing your original research.

The curriculum enables you to focus on a particular area or field of historical research in greater depth than you may have encountered during previous study or experience.

Various theoretical approaches and practical and critical thinking skills enable you to exercise significant judgement in different situations – highly valued in multiple careers.

You should generally have an undergraduate degree of 2.2 or above in History or a cognate discipline or have other relevant experience or equivalent qualifications. Tutors will be happy to discuss entry requirements on a flexible basis.
