Postgraduate courses
Our postgraduate programmes cover a broad range of topics focused on our research specialisms. We also work closely with the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies which offers MA and PhD programmes.
You can choose to study on a taught Master's or a research programme in History. A research Master's degree is studied over one year full-time while a PhD involves extended study over three or four years. We also offer a PhD by published works. All our postgraduate programmes can also be studied part-time.
