Course summary

Our MA in History offers you the opportunity to advance your explorations of History in a supported and structured programme of study.

Developing as a researcher and communicator, you will enjoy support from a passionate and collaborative community, and you will also benefit from access to extensive digital, material and archival research resources. Why choose this course?

On Keele’s MA in History, you’ll delve into the politics, culture, economics, crime and governance of past societies – from as far back as the Middle Ages to the present day – examining the motivations and behaviour of individuals and societies when organising life materially and conceptually, individually and collectively. History at Keele offers the chance to join an active, dedicated department of educators and researchers who are internationally recognised leaders in their fields, committed to pastoral care and personalised learning. We offer a collegial community which benefits from smaller class sizes, allowing you to engage with colleagues and peers, while supporting you to undertake the highest quality historical research. You’ll deepen your knowledge of research design, methods and processes, learning how to use real-world and digital archives, while enhancing your analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
