A master’s degree in history in the UK offers a comprehensive study of historical events, periods and cultures, designed for individuals dedicated to understanding the complexities of the past. These programmes produce graduates ready for careers as academic historians, archivists, museum curators, educators and policy advisors, where their extensive understanding of history informs contemporary analysis and decision-making.
With more than 430 master’s degrees available in history, the UK’s educational landscape reflects its rich heritage and commitment to historical scholarship. These programmes are aimed at students with undergraduate degrees in history, political science, cultural studies or related humanities fields. They are designed to refine analytical and critical thinking, research and historiography.
The curriculum in these programmes covers a diverse range of historical periods and themes, from ancient to modern history, political, social and cultural history and specific regional studies. Programmes emphasise rigorous research methodologies, historiographical analysis and critical interpretation of historical sources.
Assessment methods typically involve a blend of essays or presentations, research projects and a significant dissertation, which enables students to engage in specialised research on a chosen topic, contributing original scholarly work to the field of historical studies.
