The MA in Historical Research is designed to offer a grounding in historical research and either to prepare you for higher study at PhD level or – if taken as a stand-alone qualification – to cultivate transferable skills for employment in a range of related careers such as archives and libraries, teaching and research work. Past students have entered the wide range of careers open to arts and humanities graduates.
Students can choose to investigate any period or area of history for which the department can offer supervision and each has a personal research supervisor. The core module offers training in the fundamental skills and the theoretical basis of historical research work, and directly supports the dissertation. You can choose from a range of options. You can take modules that offer training in specific research skills, such as palaeography or languages, or you can pursue further study in your chosen historical period.
