Course Summary

SOAS’s MA History and Intensive Language programme is one of the few UK Master-level degrees in History which focuses on the histories of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. With its high concentration of expertise of these regions, the programme offers an unrivalled breadth of courses on these regions’ respective as well as interconnected histories. In addition to offering regional and global/transnational expertise, the SOAS MA History and Intensive Language programme also provides a rich training in the theory and methodology in history-writing and historical research.While the course is open to students from a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal applicant would have an undergraduate degree in History (or a related discipline), some knowledge of foreign, including Asian or African languages, and preferably some relevant background in the region of specialism.

Modules

Debating Pasts, Crafting Histories (30 Credits)
This module aims to encourage critical thinking about the writing of the history of Asia, Africa and the Middle East as defined by the crucial encounter with the West and by more recent approaches to the study of non-European pasts. Besides dealing with main historiographical themes the module also provides training in key research, interpretive and writing skills: the use of written, oral and visual sources, dissertation writing and an understanding of current uses and abuses of history in the media and public discourse both in the West and in the regions under consideration.
