Postgraduate History reviews
Celtic Civilisation and History MA (Hons)
University Of Aberdeen
Alex, January 2008Overall score
Aberdeen uni is a lovely wee campus, and the city itself may be small but there's still a whole load of stuff to do. Well worth checking out especially for certain subjects.
Study experience
Personally I think my courses and the staff are fab. In first year I had about 15 hours a week in uni, now in my last semester of fourth I have 3 hours a week, but I also have to write my dissertation. I was gives pretty much a free reign with this and there's a load of choice with history courses weather you want to do ancient/modern or anything in between. The Celtic department is small and friendly everyone knows everyone which gives for a nice atmosphere during class.
Facilities
The library?s pretty good, we've tons of computers and the whole campus is now wireless too. We've a gym and swimming pool on campus though you do have to pay for membership it's much cheaper than your average private gym.
Postgraduate life
A nice range of clubs and soc's ranging from the usual rugby, football to stuff like ultimate Frisbee and underwater hockey. The societies are just as varied with faith, nationality, subject and just plain random ones, we apparently have the only Harry Potter Society in Scotland, not sure if this is something to be proud about or not.
Job prospects
Something like 97% of our graduates go on to a job or further education within 6 months of graduating. Staying on for post grad is easy and my departments helped me apply and advised me about what to take. After being at uni I know this is where I want to stay, my lectures have all been enthusiastic about me wanting to be an academic, which has been great.

History & Politics MA
University Of York
Anna, September 2008Overall score
University has been great experience. York is a very small but friendly university and it is so easy to make loads of friends. There are many clubs, orgs, etc to join, allowing you to meet even more people from wide range of backgrounds. Although York uni is not the best looking, the older accommodation is the best to be in due to the community spirit. The newer accommodation is more unsociable. There is plenty to get involved in and I would definitely advise all students to consider York.
Study experience
Course interesting. Really enjoying. Number of hours between 3 and 7 hours, although in science full week. More research based.
Facilities
Library good for history, politics, sciences. In other subjects like art history, they struggle more, although Boston Spa reading room is close by. More computers are needed in the library and they are slow!! Sports facilities could be better. No swimming pool and outdoor courts are flooded!!
Postgraduate life
There are plenty of clubs to choose from. In particular the sports clubs allow you to do sports at competitive levels you may never have had the opportunity to do, such as fencing, rowing, martial arts. The only limitation is funding. Many of the societies are under-funded and don't have many resources. However, they are still worth joining.
Job prospects
The careers service is useless.

Ancient History MA
King's College London (University Of London)
Ben, August 2008Overall score
I am very happy with the way my course is going and the academic support I have been given.
I find the administration to be a little lacking but I suppose with so many students and so many courses there must be some confusion sometimes.
I would recommend this university in a heartbeat. It's reputation alone is superb. The lecturers really challenge you and encourage you to play Devil's Advocate with yourself in order to present to most balanced answer.
Study experience
It is exactly what I expected from King's. Challenging and supportive lecturers.
Facilities
The facilities are of a very high standard.
Postgraduate life
I am a member of serveral clubs and find them a good way to meet new people. They can take up too much of your time though. So I would say to only join clubs or societies that you really love.
Job prospects
I will have no trouble to get a job either here or at home in Paris as King's College London is a well known institution.
