Course summary
Explore the political divisions and cultural uncertainty created by the great revolutions, the mobilisations and resistance of the two world wars and the transnational forces of empire and globalisation. Course description Historians have long been fascinated by modernity and the societies to which it gave rise. The MA Modern History explores these changes, allowing you to work with internationally-renowned academics to investigate the political cleavages and cultural uncertainty unleashed by the great revolutions, the mobilisations and resistance of the two world wars and the transnational forces of empire and globalisation. Our MA courses are designed to help you carry out specialist research under expert supervision in a friendly and supportive environment. The core module develops your understanding of key historiographical and methodological approaches and your skills in using relevant sources, while the dissertation provides you the opportunity to further develop your skills and apply your knowledge in an independent research project. This is supported by the Research Presentation module which develops your skills in presenting research to a non-specialist audience. Our range of option modules allow you to focus on the particular skills and knowledge that are most important to you. You can choose from a wide range of modules focussing on particular historical themes, supporting specific history research training and public history modules. All of this helps you build a broad range of transferable skills that will be desirable to future employers both inside and outside of academia.
