Course Summary

Designed by students, for students, this innovative programme gives students the opportunity to specialise in their chosen field, working alongside our world-class historians. They will be trained in the latest research methods, and gain invaluable employability skills and workplace experience through our unique internship programme. We are looking forward to welcoming a new generation of MA students to the School of History.

The most research intensive MA History available with intensive research skills and historiographical training, and an advanced historical research project that equips you for Masters’ level research;

The opportunity to specialise in one of several key subject streams in which you will ‘Master the field’ and write a dissertation under the guidance of expert academics. Streams may include: Modern British History; Women, Gender, Sexualities; Modern European History; Modern American History; Global Histories of Empire and Decolonisation; the History of the Medieval Islamic World; the History of Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe; the History of Material and Visual Culture; and Histories of Science, Medicine, and Emotions;

A unique internship option, which will give invaluable ‘real-world’ experience and transferable employability skills, through a placement with one of our public history/heritage partners;

A guaranteed place on MA History for any student who attains a 2.1 or above on a single or joint History BA Honours degree awarded from Queen Mary and who wishes to continue (subject to final Admissions checks and programme availability and for entry in September 2024);

The option of completing all MA components, including the dissertation, by early summer, facilitating entry into the job market.

Modules

In this module, we explore the methods that historians employ, different approaches to studying history, and the challenges we must overcome. This module will support you in the transition to postgraduate study, as you acquire the skills and training required for the other modules on the MA programme, including the dissertation. You will be encouraged to explore the perspectives and practices that you find most engaging, whether cultural, social, political, intellectual, or some other form of historical inquiry. At the same time, we will reflect on the diversity of historical experience and interpretation, and the values that shape your own research and writing. The module will also include site visits to London archives and museums.
