Course Summary

History has long been studied and used to help interpret the world around us, and it continues to play a central role in understanding and shaping contemporary society. This MA lets you explore this relationship from all angles, using theories and approaches from other disciplines, such as anthropology and sociology, creative arts, literary studies, psychology, science and medicine, as well as geography. It also gives you important professional and entrepreneurial skills by developing your understanding of how history and heritage are central to many 21st-century industries, from museums and archives to marketing and urban planning. Develop both intellectual and professional skills for leadership roles in the public history, heritage and cultural industries. Study in a historic city and county, surrounded by visitor attractions including country houses, museums and industrial archaeology. Build your networks and undertake fascinating real-world projects, drawing on our links with local, national and international heritage organisations. Be inspired by our dedicated, enthusiastic teaching team, including historians who are published experts in their field. Through optional modules, research projects and self-directed study, you can choose to focus on the issues and case studies you find particularly interesting. This MA also helps you to build on the research skills you will have acquired during your first degree and allows you to develop original research on a subject of your choice in modern and/or public history, through an Independent Study module. It’s therefore excellent preparation for doctoral study.
