Introduction

Explore contrasting periods of history and develop your critical awareness and research skills. Gain a richer understanding of how history helps us to address present-day issues.

Our MA History will introduce you to contrasting periods and forms of history (social, cultural, political, digital) and different research methods. You'll access current forms of historical thinking exploring issues around material culture, race, the spatial turn and globalisation.

By studying MA History at ARU, you’ll become part of a vibrant postgraduate community. Additionally, in Cambridge you’ll be in the midst of a dynamic academic environment, benefiting from our many links with local organisations and access to archives including the Cambridgeshire Collection, The Archives Centre at Churchill College, the Cambridge University Library and Imperial War Museum, Duxford. London and the British Library are only 50 mins away on the train.

Our MA History will allow you to develop your professional career. You’ll use different historical and interdisciplinary approaches and acquire the skill set of a true historian, not just an antiquarian, able to think critically and solve complex problems – identified by the World Economic Forum as amongst the most required skills for the future workforce.

You'll also become an independent learner, able to manage your own projects and research in a confident and flexible manner, devise and sustain arguments and solve problems successfully. You'll develop transferable skills which will enhance your prospects of employment and of promotion.

Such skills are transferable to careers in research, administration, teaching, heritage, fundraising, librarianship, archivist, marketing, IT-related industries and the media, as well as doctoral study.

Graduation does not have to be the end of your time with us. You can choose to continue your academic career with a research programme at ARU, such as a PhD in History, which a number of our MA graduates are currently undertaking.

The impact of our History research was judged as "world-leading" in the Research Excellence Framework 2021 (REF2021).
