Overview
History
The MA History and Intensive Language programme would suit students with a keen interest in learning about the historical conditions of the contemporary world, and in particular those who are prepared to look at the world from the perspective of other people and cultures.
While the course is open to students from a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal applicant would have an UG 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.
Intensive Language (South East Asian Language):
This MA (discipline) combined degree with Intensive Language (South East Asian Language) has a two-year language pathway. This MA programme is directed at students who want to engage with South East Asia in a professional as well as academic way, as the intensive language module would enable them to reach a good level of proficiency in one of the four languages: Burmese, Indonesian, Thai or Vietnamese. The summer between the first and second year of study is spent in the region following an intensive language module.
In the two-year pathway, students can take intensive South East Asian language with either MA South East Asian Studies, MA History, MA Anthropology of Food, MA Anthropological Research Methods, MA Migration and Diaspora Studies, MA Social Anthropology.
