Masters Degree Description

The aim of this course is to put something very big under the microscope.

Our specialist pathway in Global History expands the scale historians normally operate at and presents you with an opportunity to think with growing confidence and imagination about your world, its origins, complexities and continuous transformations.

You'll learn the latest skills, concepts and approaches to the subject across a broad geographical and chronological scope. Global historians examine how global forces and connections have long shaped our societies and cultures. You'll share in the imaginative challenges and intellectual vistas that this exciting new field of history opens up.
