This piece of original research will be based on primary sources. You will demonstrate an awareness of the associated historiography and an understanding of the relevant methodological or theoretical concepts.
Your research topic will be determined in consultation with your dissertation supervisor. At the start of the course, you will be introduced to research in history through two compulsory modules. This series of weekly seminars will develop your knowledge of the range of theories, methodologies and critical approaches that inform research in historical studies. It is during this time that your dissertation proposal will take shape. Only when the proposal is satisfactorily completed will you proceed to researching and writing the dissertation.
Possible Career Options
This qualification is an excellent basis for further research in history at MPhil and PhD levels. If you do not want to pursue further research, you will have gained the research skills needed for a range of careers in the arts, industry, the media, administration in the private and public sectors, or further education.
