STUDY

Overview

Our MA in History will take your skills and experience to the next level. With legacies of the past shaping the structure of institutions, economies, identities, relationships, social movements, and the problems of the present and the future, advanced training in the topics, themes, skills, and approaches to understand and interpret this history is more valuable than ever. Over the course of our programme, you will:

• Undertake a unique blend of taught modules focusing on the 18^th to the 21^st centuries under the guidance of expert and supportive staff,
• Forge relationships with our network of heritage partners – including museums, archives, and charities – gaining valuable first-hand experience working on public-history projects,
• Pursue your own research interests, exploring a wide range of evidence to construct interpretations of human behaviour and thinking in the past, and learning to communicate them to a variety of audiences,
• Bring all your knowledge, connections, and experience together in an independent dissertation project under the supervision and mentorship of one of our academic experts.
• Join a community of scholars working in one of England’s richest historical landscapes, including having unrivalled access to The Hold, the flagship branch of the Suffolk Archives located right on our campus which puts over 900 years of historical documents at your fingertips.

Whether you interest in postgraduate study stems from a deep internal passion, an interest in career progression, pursuing a challenge, or seeking a change, we are excited to work with you as you take this next step.
