Challenging and diverse, our flagship history programme builds on the department’s research strengths and has been designed to provide a thorough training in the study of history across a wide range of periods and themes.
You acquire a substantial body of historical knowledge and apply, at a high level, the skills and methodologies of historical research. You demonstrate sophisticated understanding of texts and an ability to marshal an argument in pursuit of meaningful questions about the past. Most importantly, you develop as a researcher, and the teaching model empowers you to develop the kind of methodological and theoretical rigour that is essential to producing your own original research.
The curriculum enables you to focus on a particular area or field of historical research in greater depth than you may have encountered during the course of previous study or experience.
A variety of theoretical approaches, practical and critical thinking skills enable you to exercise significant judgement in a range of situations – highly valued in a range of careers.
Students should normally have an undergraduate degree of 2.2 or above in History or a cognate discipline, or have other relevant experience or equivalent qualifications. Tutors will be happy to discuss entry requirements on a flexible basis. For general information please see our overview of entry requirements.
Typically graduates go on to roles in teaching, museum work, heritage management and/or administration. You may also choose to pursue further academic study – MPhil or PhD.
