MSt - Master of Studies
History
Taught
This two-year, part-time Master’s programme is designed for those who wish to study at postgraduate level and are keen to develop high-level skills in historical research.
Overview
The course offers two thematic strands in which students specialise: British local and regional history and Global history. You will specialise in one of these two themes, studying taught modules and undertaking original research, culminating in a dissertation of 16,000 - 20,000 words. Applicants should have a developed research proposal based on an aspect of either British local and regional history or Global history.
The MSt is taught over two years in short, intensive study blocks, and begins in September 2020 (Michaelmas Term). It has been designed to be accessible to those in full- or part-time employment and to international students.
Successful applicants will become members of a Cambridge College and will join the wider graduate community, with full access to the facilities of the University.

By the end of the course students should have:
