Our MA course will allow you to build upon existing historical interests, while also acquiring new expertise in a range of exciting historical topics. At the same time, the course places great weight on key research techniques, helping you to develop and enhance the skills that historians use when approaching the past. The MA in History is taught by a range of different historians, all of whom possess expertise in the latest historical theories and approaches. Our academics also have broad chronological and geographical interests, which help to make this both a stimulating and varied course. You will be able to dip into the history of the Medieval and Early Modern periods or, if you so wish, explore more recent examples of the past. British, wider European and American history also feature prominently in the course, which confirms the Department’s belief in exploring the multiplicity and variety of history. One of the real strengths of the course is that it is easy for students to track a pathway through the course based on their own interests. Option modules, dissertation topics and assessment themes can all be tailored to suit. So, whether you want to concentrate on the history of medieval Europe, more recent experiences of war and conflict, or something completely different, the choice is yours.
