Course Summary

The MA in Public History will allow students to consider how history is created and understood in public contexts. Our MA allows students to explore history in its many forms, including through the museum and heritage, culture, media, technology and even video game sectors. The programme offers advanced-level teaching by leading practitioners and is delivered across the new UCL East and historic Bloomsbury campuses. The MA in Public History combines cutting-edge, research-led knowledge of how history is produced and engaged with in public contexts, with training in the practices through which public historical understanding is created and communicated.The approach of the MA in Public History is distinctively global and interdisciplinary. Students will be primarily based out of UCL East, working alongside those undertaking studies in the related fields of global urbanism, heritage studies, creative humanities, and media studies. They will first examine what public history means and how it changes over time and place across distinct global contexts, exploring key concepts and debates centring on memory, heritage, history as activism, history as business, policy, and as institutional and community memory, as well as the arts and acts of remembrance.
