From African-American slavery to Stalin’s Russia—from households in Essex to witchcraft in Germany—from the history of disease to revolutions in China, we urge you to explore the past in order to better understand the present.<br/><br/>On the four-year MHist Version of this course (five years if taking a year abroad or placement year), you develop the same key skills for History as on the BA, as well as investigating more advanced topics by achieving a masters-level qualification. At undergraduate level, you’ll have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of optional modules about subjects close to home and further afield, in addition to advanced masters level topics, such as public history, history and identity, and conflict and remembrance.
