Ne öğreneceğim?
Our MA in History offers you the opportunity to advance your explorations of History in a supported and structured programme of study. The broad and comprehensive expertise of our world-leading historians – ranging in time from the Middle Ages to the recent past, and in place from the local Potteries to continental Europe, the US, South Asia and Africa – offers a wide scope for your research pursuits. Developing as a researcher and communicator, you will enjoy support from a passionate and collaborative community, and you will also benefit from access to extensive digital, material and archival research resources. Course Summary: On Keele’s MA in History, you’ll delve into the politics, culture, economics, crime and governance of past societies – from as far back as the Middle Ages to the present day – examining the motivations and behaviour of individuals and societies when organising life materially and conceptually, individually and collectively. History at Keele offers the chance to join an active, dedicated department of educators and researchers who are internationally recognised leaders in their fields, committed to pastoral care and personalised learning. We offer a collegial community which benefits from smaller class sizes, allowing you to engage with colleagues and peers, while supporting you to undertake the highest quality historical research. You’ll deepen your knowledge of research design, methods and processes, learning how to use real-world and digital archives, while enhancing your analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Staff expertise spans the medieval period to the present day, and geographically covering the entire globe, with particular expertise in Britain, Europe, South Asia, South Africa, and the US. Optional modules provide an opportunity to learn a language, explore palaeography, enrol in an interdisciplinary module outside of the School of Humanities, or complete a work placement, using our contacts or through your own networks here in the UK or abroad. In the past, students within the School have helped staged exhibitions, catalogued an archive, reviewed educational material and reflected on the selection of historical textbooks in a school. Our students have gone on to work in law, teaching, libraries, archives, museums, the civil service, journalism, politics, research for charities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), government bodies, think tanks, broadcasting, advertising, or continued research at PhD level.
