The MA History is designed for people who want to take their historical knowledge to the next step and specialise in a particular area. Whether you are interested in early modern politics, the Vietnam War, or something else entirely, you will be able to develop your own expertise at Roehampton.
You will take two core skills modules, which are designed to sharpen your research abilities and fully acquaint you with a range of historical literature. You will take a module that examines key themes in historical research and a module that includes a work placement or an academic conference.
The final stage of the MA is completing a 15,000 word dissertation in which you choose the periods, people, and themes to explore.
You will be taught in small seminar groups and will have one to one sessions with your supervisor, who will be assigned based on your research interests.
