History is all around us. The way we understand and interpret the past impacts our identities, shapes the present and informs the future. Our interdisciplinary degree in Public History is an opportunity to explore the role of history in society, gaining hands-on experience in the heritage sector alongside cutting edge academic training.
You'll study global perspectives on the relationship between the past and the public and evaluate their impact on modern day societies. You'll explore the role of museums and other heritage institutions, and consider the public history work of curators, archivists, and historians. At the same time you'll analyse how engagement with history has evolved with new types of media, from film and TV to social media and virtual reality. You'll also undertake a valuable placement in order to tackle your own public history project, developing important skills in practice.
This MA is offered through History in conjunction with the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past (IPUP).
Careers and skills
While completing your MA, you will gain essential skills in research, presentation and analysis. These skills are invaluable for progressing to a PhD and for a diverse range of careers, including within the heritage sector.
Undergraduate degree: 2:1 or equivalent in History or a related discipline. Applications are also welcomed from candidates with a 2:2 or equivalent and relevant work experience. Other qualifications and experience: We would consider a 2:2 but our decision would depend on the whole application including the quality of the written work submitted.
