Course summary

You acquire a substantial body of historical knowledge and apply, at a high level, the skills and methodologies of historical research. You demonstrate sophisticated understanding of texts and an ability to marshal an argument in pursuit of meaningful questions about the past. Most importantly, you develop as a researcher, and the teaching model empowers you to develop the kind of methodological and theoretical rigour that is essential to producing your own original research. The curriculum enables you to focus on a particular area or field of historical research in greater depth than you may have encountered during the course of previous study or experience. A variety of theoretical approaches, practical and critical thinking skills enable you to exercise significant judgement in a range of situations – highly valued in a range of careers. Top reasons to study this course > Study this course and you may be eligible for a £2,500 Sir Keith Skeoch postgraduate scholarship. > The teaching team are highly rated research-active historians who support the work of the Centre for Culture and Creativity. > Negotiated learning and innovative assessment strategies includes knowledge exchange projects which includes public engagement activity, such as exhibitions, websites, theatre scripts, or educational resources such as lesson plans and courses of work, ensuring that valuable employability skills are embedded within the course structure. > Optional specialisms based on the staff research expertise bring you face-to-face with research taught by leading scholars as is attested by the history section’s Research Excellence Framework contribution, grant capture and record of current and forthcoming publications. > High level of academic and pastoral tutor support develops your independence as a researcher, skills as a writer, and originality as a critic in a supportive and structured environment. > An MA History provides a sound basis for either doctoral study in history and its cognate disciplines, and entry into a range of graduate-level jobs.
