Course Overview

Our MA European History offers you the chance to study at a department with world-renowned expertise in European history, including British, German, French, Italian, Balkan, Russian, and Eastern European history, as well as international, transnational, global, and comparative historical perspectives. The program brings together these different fields and develops new approaches to the history of Europe from the early modern period to the present day. It provides you with an appreciation of key debates that have shaped our understanding of Europe and the most important historical and methodological approaches to critically interpreting the European past. Rather than presuppose one all-encompassing definition of 'Europe', whether geographical, ideological or otherwise, the course highlights the different contexts within which the European past and present can be analyzed. Graduates go in to careers in education, the Civil Service, research and journalism, archiving and libraries. Possible professions include teacher, Civil Service fast streamer, researcher, journalist, or archivist. This degree may also be useful in becoming a museum education officer, museum curator, editorial assistant, or politicians assistant.
