Course Overview

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, our Part Time MA in Modern History is for you. As a Master’s student, 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 programme 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 programme 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.
