Acquire the skillset of a true historian in the historically rich city of Cambridge. Discover many historical and interdisciplinary approaches, develop advanced research techniques, learn to think critically and solve complex problems – crucial skills for your future career.

On our MA History, you will learn to critically examine different periods of history - including social, cultural, political and public history - and conduct original research at both local and global levels.

Each module (including the final major project) will introduce you to new research methods and the analytical questions that go with them. This will allow you to develop an understanding of the problems inherent in the historical record, such as the many contrasting viewpoints, and give you the means to test them effectively.
