The MA will give you essential training for higher research in history, as well as an opportunity to develop particular interests in the history of different countries and periods through taught modules and a 25,000 word dissertation on a chosen topic. Option modules focus on subjects such as ritual and history in the Middle Ages; witchcraft and the supernatural in the 16th and 17th centuries; moral and religious deviance; sexuality, health, medicine, gender and the body; party politics and international diplomacy; and the impact of modern wars on culture, economy, society and memory.
