Overview

This London-based degree in History by Research enables students to study a historical subject of their own choosing (under guidance), and culminates in the production of a substantial dissertation based on original research.There is an enormously broad range of possible thesis subjects in History, and the University possesses a wide variety of experts who are able to supervise in topics ranging from antiquity to the early twenty-first century. Given sufficient evidence to illuminate it, almost any aspect of history may potentially form an appropriate focus of study. The MA History by Research is therefore intended to give students the opportunity to explore their historical interests in depth, even where these are in areas not necessarily covered in the University’s other MA programmes.

Course Highlights

One-to-one supervisions with our team of expert historians.
Wide and flexible range of potential research subjects.
Access to over 100 seminars held by The University of Buckingham through the year.
