Course Overview

Capitalizing on our research expertise, the History MA combines taught and individual approaches, enabling you to focus on specific areas of interest that drive your passion for the subject. We will provide you with the academic rigor of advanced-level learning and equip you with the practical skills involved in independent research, giving you first-hand experience of conference management, presenting work, and writing for publications. This course is an ideal stepping-stone to either research at the Ph.D. level or a career in teaching, publishing, research, or event management. You will contextualize, analyze and problematize the past, considering key questions in current historiography and how history has been written across time and place. By engaging with debates around how public history is constructed, contested, and represented in society, you will produce your own €˜heritage project and also consider how the digital age has impacted the growth of the heritage sector. Our specialist Global Leicester module will provide you with an opportunity to understand the importance of place and scale, spanning across the historical periods and blending the local with global narratives.
