Masters study

Let's talk about our courses

MA History

Our MA History is rigorous and flexible and provides you with the opportunity to study a diverse range of topics at the cutting-edge of history, spanning time periods from the 1500s to the 21st century.

You may choose to pursue a mixture of areas, such as the history of crime; medicine; or the Roma and Sinti in Europe. Or, you may decide to follow a more specific pathway such as public history, cultural and social history, or local and regional history. In your core modules, you'll look at the challenges of global history, and explore how economies and identities are changed by the 'cultural turn', raise questions on issues relating to gender, race, class and consumption, and carve your own voice on debates relating to the meaning of subjectivity, identities and discourse.

MA War, Culture and Society 

Our MA War, Culture and Society is innovative and interdisciplinary at its core as it draws on the expertise of scholars from across the humanities, social sciences and health sciences.

On this degree, you'll engage with diverse perspectives on war and conflict in the modern period, whilst considering the effects of war on different scales, from the individual to the state and the local to the global, and on different groups. You can expect to develop diverse expertise in the complex relationship between war, culture and society, whilst covering topics including women in the First World War, the social effects of war in the modern era, and human rights in conflict zones.
