Course summary

The History MRes course incorporates taught modules that provide you with the key tools and contexts for postgraduate work in History. You will begin the degree course by considering different kinds of history-writing and the concepts that underpin them. You will acquire such knowledge through the ‘Historical Contexts’ module and you will then be able to deploy your broader awareness of historiography in writing about your own area of interest. In doing so, you will lay the foundations for your dissertation research. The taught components of the programme familiarise you with the way in which historical knowledge has been generated, communicated and preserved. In doing so, you will also learn about a variety of digital research projects. At the same time, the ‘History in the Digital Age’ module allows you pursue independent line of enquiry, enabling you to cover themes and time periods that connect with your specific research interests.The History MRes course has been designed to form the basis for those wishing to progress to PhD level and we offer advice in writing PhD and funding applications should you decide to take this route. Northumbria is part of the UK’s only Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Heritage, led by Hull and consisting of a consortium of universities in the North of England. The broad range of skills and knowledge acquired on this course can help to enhance promotion prospects in many professions, most notably teaching, professional research, museums or archives, public policy and project management. It should also enhance your prospects of employment should you wish to move into such vocations. You will also leave prepared for a career as a researcher or employment within a broader business environment.
