The programme has been shaped by leading researchers in our department. This means that the modules offered reflect the most recent developments in various historical fields. We offer core skills training modules and the opportunity, in the form of independent study and dissertation modules, to conduct research on topics of your choosing. This freedom, combined with advanced training, will enable you to graduate confident in your ability to research, write and develop your own work, which puts you in the ideal position to pursue further academic study, or new lines of endeavour.

Entry requirements You should normally hold a 2:1 honours degree, or equivalent, in History or in a related subject. If it is some time since you completed your undergraduate education and you do not meet the standard requirement, it may be possible to consider your application based on evidence of other relevant personal and professional experience, the support of your referees and examples of written work. The university offers a range of courses to help international students meet the entry requirements for this course and also familiarise them with university life.
