Position Details (Master's)

Are you fascinated by the events that shaped the modern world? Are you keen to build a set of skills crucial for future employment or study? If so, University of East Anglia's MA in Modern History (Part Time) is for you.

As a Modern History (Part Time) Master’s student at University of East Anglia , you’ll deepen your understanding of the people, cultures, nations and ideas that have influenced over two hundred years of history.

You’ll be taught by a team of internationally recognised experts in political, international, imperial, social and cultural history. You’ll learn about developments around the globe: from Britain and its empire, across continental Europe and the Middle East, to South and East Asia and North America.

Across the two years of your course, your program will combine seminars with smaller tutorials and independent study. In your second year, you’ll produce a piece of original research in a dissertation on a topic of your choice.

In joining us, you’ll become part of a vibrant community. Norwich is rich in resources for the study of modern history, including archives at UEA, Norfolk Record Office and the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures.

Our MA program will also equip you with essential skills: problem-solving, self-discipline, independent working, critical judgement, and excellent oral and written skills. Our graduates have gone on to careers as varied as law, finance, the Civil Service, local government, heritage, tourism and teaching – with many more besides. And if you’re thinking of taking your study of history even further, our MA will provide a vital foundation.

Careers

You’ll put the skills and knowledge you will have acquired to good use in your Master’s dissertation. You’ll then graduate fully-prepared for doctoral study, should you decide to remain in academia. And you’ll possess qualities vital to future employment, including problem-solving skills, self-discipline and time-management, the ability to work with others, and excellent oral and written skills.

The curriculum includes topics such as:

  • Nationalism and Violence in the 20th Century
  • Battle Myths of the First World War
  • The Holocaust in History and Memory
  • Historical Research Skills
  • History - Specialist Tutorials
  • MA History Dissertation
