Study Details: MA 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
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 have the opportunity to explore topics such as contemporary British history, covert political action and terrorism.
You'll be taught by expert staff from a range of disciplines such as international relations and history.
2:1 and/or 2:2 with two years of work experience in a graduate job
This course will introduce you to the advanced study of contemporary history and equip you with the skills needed for a wide range of career paths, from media and leisure, to national government and international organisations.
Many students take an active role in politics throughout their time in the school, and after. Politics is an ideal academic discipline if you are interested in a career in politics or government.
