You will begin the first term by studying two core modules; one covers advanced historical research skills and the other will introduce you to key approaches to the discipline. In the second term, you will have a choice of three optional modules, which have both a thematic and chronological breadth. Finally, you will also conduct an original Research Dissertation, based on a topic of your choice, subject to the approval of your supervisors.

A 2:1 honours degree in history or any relevant discipline or an equivalent qualification is required. Consideration will be given to those who hold a lower classification who can demonstrate they are capable of performing at the level required to complete the course successfully.
