Overview

We offer a wide range of modules that draw on the strengths of our research active staff and the History course from Manchester Metropolitan University aims to provide students with the skills to progress to higher research programmes.

You can choose to undertake a placement related to your research interests, organised in collaboration with staff members, and drawn from our extensive network of regional contacts. Previous placements have included National Trust properties, the People's History Museum, and the Holocaust Exhibition and Learning Centre (Huddersfield).

Career

Graduates may choose to go on to higher research programmes or move into a wide range of industries like heritage, education, law, libraries or local government. With the analytical and self-expression skills gained on the course, many have gone on to pursue careers and further study in business where these skills are desired.

Students also develop skills as an independent researcher and have the option to experience specific, practical training for careers related to the heritage sector.

We’ll help you to establish connections with internationally excellent researchers covering social, cultural, political, military, and public history from the Ancient to Modern eras. Manchester Metropolitan has dedicated teams to support and grow your academic CV or to help develop a PhD proposal.
