Course Overview

This program is ideal for those who wish to pursue their passion for the past, those who want to experience postgraduate historical study without committing to a full Masters degree, and those who are changing direction and moving to history from a different undergraduate subject. This is an undergraduate-level qualification that will prepare you for postgraduate study. Graduate Certificates/Diplomas typically take one to two years to complete and are made up of two, three, or four modules at final-year undergraduate degree level (worth 60, 90, or 120 credits). Graduates can pursue careers in research and archiving, education, the heritage industry, publication, and the media, the charity sector, and journalism. Possible professions include historian, higher education lecturer, or archivist. This degree provides a range of transferable skills, which may be useful in becoming a journalist, heritage manager, politicians assistant, academic librarian, or museum/gallery curator.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above.
