Taught Masters degrees

Whether you are aiming for a career as an academic, seeking to extend your undergraduate study before entering the job market, or are a teacher or related professional requiring deeper historical expertise, a taught Masters degree can be a great way of taking your passion for History to the next level.

All of these degrees, which can be taken full-time in a year or part-time over two years, involve a combination of classroom-based optional modules and the research and writing of an individually supervised dissertation of up to 20,000 words in length.
