Course summary

In the Education (History) MA, you will explore educational, political and philosophical debates that have influenced curriculum and the learning and teaching of history in schools, colleges and related settings. You will be encouraged to critically reflect on principles, practices and issues that shape and relate to policy and professional practice in history education and to develop theorised and evidence-informed perspectives on policy and practice. You will explore the key concepts involved in understanding history education. You will develop an understanding of contemporary issues and key research findings in history education and related areas, and you will be supported to apply this knowledge in your practice in educational settings and related contexts. You will be well suited to this course if you are a teacher of history, a policymaker working in history education, a museum educator, or someone interested in history education working in NGOs and other organisations with educational remits. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
