The programme is designed to teach many of the transferable skills that history MA programmes offer, and which provide a strong foundation for those hoping to undertake PhD research and an academic career. On top of this, the programme provides the transferable skills necessary to pursue a career in media, heritage, education, the civil service, the arts sector, and business.

Debate, small group seminars and tutorials provide you with strong presentation and negotiation skills for your future career. Project-based work will help you learn how to collaborate, manage your time and workload effectively, while developing your competency in working independently – skills highly-prized by employers across a range of sectors. The media and digital skills training you acquire will develop your ability to communicate effectively across a wide range of genres and audiences. By learning with industry professionals and specialist practitioners, you will gain knowledge of a range of career pathways and possibilities for further networking. There are many additional activities available, both within the department and the wider UCL community, to help you focus on employability skills whilst you are here, for example departmental careers talks and networking opportunities with History alumni.
