Study Details: MA 12 months full-time, 24 months part-time
The one-year MA in Modern History, given by the Department of International History, provides broad coverage of the origins, formation and reinvention of the modern world.
This is enabled by a research-oriented approach rooted in the humanities.
The degree provides broad coverage of the origins, formation and reinvention of the modern world, and has three main elements: a research-oriented approach rooted in the humanities (which will give students the opportunity to engage with scholarship across disciplines within the School); a timeframe which embraces early modern, modern and contemporary history (which complements social scientific research on our world today); and a 10,000-word dissertation in which students elaborate their own understanding of the nature and genealogy of the modern world (via a topic decided in consultation with a supervisor).
The MA in History will give students a firm grasp of the nature and genealogy of the modern world, and furnish secure foundations for more advanced research.
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent in any discipline.
Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.

Students develop highly transferable skills valued by employers and go on to work in the foreign service, the EU, political think tanks, risk assessment, journalism or the NGO sector, or stay on to take a research degree.
LSE history graduates find employment in almost any job sector due to the wide range of transferable skills developed during their studies.
Very few people with a degree in history go on to work as historians, but students with a degree in international history have many skills that are in high demand today.
History students learn to read and process large amounts of information, to sift out unreliable data, to analyse and organise the material available, and to form a coherent argument orally or in writing. Students at LSE learn to set and achieve personal goals, manage their time to meet deadlines, and have confidence speaking in public. In our knowledge-based economy, employers value these skills.
