Course overview
Our Politics and Contemporary History MA course explores the recent past and how political, social and historical events have shaped the world we're living in today. The programme enables you to study in both the departments of Politics and International Relations and History at Nottingham.
From the modules in these two disciplines you can construct a course to reflect your own particular interests. You'll engage with topics including labour and urban history, women’s history, religion and conflict in the Middle East, film history, and contemporary British history.
You'll be taught by expert staff from a range of disciplines including social sciences, history, theology and American studies.
The school regularly holds workshops and conferences with guest speakers from international institutions, some of which include:
?You'll have the opportunity to undertake a placement as part of your studies to apply your knowledge to real world settings, helping you to stand out to employers.
You'll graduate ready for a range of careers including working in the public and private sector, the media, politics, government or research.
