This highly reputed MA provides training to research level in the ‘Leicester’ approach to English Local History as a subject which is comparative across the nation; topographically grounded; cultural in its concerns; sensitive to long-term chronologies; conceptually aware and inter-disciplinary in its methodologies. It is more suited to overseas students, or UK students who find it difficult to attend the regular MA classes, lectures and other events, or who wish to write a longer dissertation.
Start Dates Late July each year for the intensive week.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
