Master of Arts - History

Situated at the heart of a World Heritage Site, the MA History builds on Canterbury’s highly successful BA History (Hons) course. The University offer a research-led and student-inspired postgraduate course aimed at developing the professional skills of students, equipping them with essential skills to thrive in an increasingly global and digitalised world.

Students can study aspects of modern History. Across the modules on this course, they will explore the role of social change, investigate intellectual, political and cultural history, interrogate social memory and learn about histories of emotion and sentiment. Students customise their degree. They will be able to design their own individually negotiated topic as well as their own research dissertation, a signal achievement that employers will recognise. This degree offers students pathways into the cultural and heritage sectors, and they will develop their skills and knowledge through involvement in public history, digital history, and heritage at MA level.
