History MA

The MA in History at the University of Suffolk is designed to take your study of history to the next level. Whatever your motives for postgraduate study - personal fulfilment, to progress in a career where the skills of a historian are needed, or for preparation for doctoral studies – our MA will provide you with the necessary skills, knowledge and stimulation - and hopefully no small amount of enjoyment too!<br/><br/>Our MA focusses on the modern period and explores topics at both a national and transnational level which are not only some of the most relevant and pressing of our own times, but which are also at the forefront of current historiographical enquiry: environmental change, war and conflict, sexuality and gender, violence, identity and selfhood, decolonialisation, migration and globalisation.<br/><br/>Our links with the heritage and education sectors provide opportunities for work-based training and delivering real-life public history projects. You will enjoy state-of-the-art teaching facilities and unparalleled access to historical archives through our partnership with the HOLD. Primary sources and the support of professional archivists are literally on the doorstep. <br/><br/>Finally, you will be joining a History team with a growing national reputation.
