MLitt Modern History

The MLitt in Modern History is a taught postgraduate programme run by the School of History.

Highlights

• The course provides an introduction to history and historiography for students interested in all branches of historical study.
• The programme is designed to maximise student choice. Students can either specialise in a particular area (for example, French history, German history, transnational history, American history)gain a broader introduction to the study of history at postgraduate level.
• Students will explore the literature on a topic of individual interest under the guidance of an expert.

Teaching format

Teaching methods include seminars and fortnightly tutorials. Class sizes range from individual supervision up to 12 students. The modules are assessed by coursework only; there is no final exam.

Students will spend the final three months of the course focusing on researching and writing the final assessment piece for the MLitt, a dissertation of not more than 15,000 words.
