This MA is aimed particularly at part-time, mature students interested in the history of the West Midlands region.
The course is broadly chronological and covers the history of the region from the 11th century to the end of the 20th. It does not aim for a complete century-by-century coverage but rather will allow students to acquire an in-depth knowledge of a series of major themes, such as:
* Town and country in the West Midlands c.1050–c.1300
* Reformation, social change and the Civil War: the West Midlands in the 16th and 17th centuries
* Enlightenment, reform and industry: the West Midlands in the 18th and 19th centuries
* Turmoil and change: economy, society and politics in the West Midlands in the 20th century
Students will also have the opportunity to research a topic of their own choice under the supervision of one of the members of the Centre for West Midlands History, using one of the many archival resources available in the region. The programme will provide students with the in-depth training necessary to understand and use these sources.
The course is delivered as Saturday schools (three per term), from 10.00am to 5.30pm, organised around lectures, seminars, small group workshops and day trips.
