Course Summary

Our MA History master's course enables you to tailor your postgraduate studies to suit your interests. Your focus could be chronological (medieval, early modern or modern), geographical (European, transnational, global) or methodological (cultural or economic and social history). Alternatively, you can create a wide-ranging course for yourself by choosing units from a variety of areas, including thematic course units that transcend orthodox boundaries to facilitate intellectual breadth and imagination. You will undertake rigorous theoretical and methodological training and you will become an integrated member of the research community with the chance to engage with outstanding researchers, resources and facilities. We have over 30 members of staff with world-class expertise in medieval, early modern and modern history, stretching across national and international boundaries, with strong representation in economic, social and cultural approaches to history.

Modules

The course investigates various aspects of historical research. Seminars will be facilitated by members of the History department who are specialists in particular approaches to History and methodologies. Each seminar will investigate the methods used by scholars to interrogate a range of sources, including statistics, visual images, newsreels etc. The course seeks to be inclusive and address archives covering a broad chronology, geography and form. This course offers students key transferable skills in identifying, using and interpreting different forms of data.
