Program Overview

As one of Britain’s leading centres for the postgraduate study of global, international and imperial histories, we bring together internationally recognised expertise in the histories of South, East and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as the wider history of imperialism, decolonisation, migration, war, humanitarianism and globalisation.

Course Content
The taught component of the MA is designed to develop your understanding of key historiographical and methodological approaches. You will take a core module, which examines the essential workings of your chosen area of expertise and develops your skills in using relevant sources.

Optional modules allow you to undertake the technical training best suited to your research needs and study major historical themes in closer detail.

The dissertation provides you the opportunity to further develop your skills and apply your historical knowledge to an independent research project.

A selection of modules are available each year - some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course. From May of the year of entry, formal programme regulations will be available in our Programme Regulations Finder.
