Research

The Degree includes a training element/research folder, designed to equip students to undertake advanced work in history and the humanities and to assist them in producing a research-based dissertation. In addition, students choose three courses that allow them to explore particular historical topics in depth. These elective courses reflect the research interests of the members of staff who teach them. The courses on offer vary from one year to the next, but will always include a choice of topics and geographical foci. For information on courses and staff research and supervisory interests, please refer to the History Postgraduate Prospectus above.

The MA is available as a full-time degree (1 year) or part-time degree (minimum of 2 years).
