World History & Cultures MA

King's College London, University of London

Our World History & Cultures MA offers you the chance to study the history of global interaction, and of the transnational histories of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Students on the MA can study global processes such as the history of empires; or focus of particular continent(s). King’s College London has been central to the history of global interaction for a century. From the 1920s it was one of the UK’s major centres for British imperial history. In more recent decades has become a leading international centre in the fields of Global and Transnational History. As well as providing training in historical research methods, and global and transnational history, our course offers you the opportunity to personalise your degree by choosing optional modules offered by other departments at King’s or from available MA courses at our London partner institutions (which include UCL, Queen Mary and Royal Holloway). Students on the degree have followed careers in academia, education more broadly, journalism, finance, politics and cultural sectors.
