Master of Arts - History

Program Description The MA History represents an exciting opportunity for students to study new areas of historical enquiry, and to then undertake their own primary research in a field of their choice.

MA History combines the coherence and support of a taught MA with the challenges of a research degree. This makes it ideal for those wishing to pursue a historical interest beyond undergraduate level or as a preparation in research skills for those aspiring to PhD study.

Teaching on the course directly reflects the internationally recognised expertise of Nottingham Trent University's staff that includes medieval and early modern British and European history; modern and contemporary history; public history and global history. Case studies include Crusades and Crusaders; Early Modern Religions and Cultures; Race and Lynching; Memory, Genocide, Holocaust; Social History and ‘The Spatial Turn'.

The course is structured thematically around the core principles of historical study, allowing students to gain the ability to apply this practical structure to their own unique historical interest area.
