This programme allows you to explore the links between history and current affairs, and discover how the recent past has shaped today’s world.
It aims to provide excellent preparation for graduate research on most recent history in a global context. It is designed to serve as a springboard for more graduate work at the PhD level or as a stand-alone graduate degree that also benefits the individual graduate in a non-academic career.
As host to one of the largest and most diverse concentrations of contemporary historians in the UK, with a wide variety of thematic and geographical specialisations, the School of History, Classics and Archaeology offers a unique opportunity to study the recent past in depth and from multiple perspectives.
