MA
Summary
This MA will see you join a community of postgraduate research students and benefit from the direct supervision of world-leading experts in historical research.
The full-time programme is scheduled over 45 weeks, divided into three 15-week trimesters.
Most of our modules use our innovative ‘block’ system, putting you in control of how you combine topics.
All our research is driven by both individual excellence and larger collaborative projects that have received significant amounts of external funding and which generate impact across a number of communities.
With expert supervision, you’ll be supported through your dissertation. At 15,000 words, it’s the finale of your postgraduate study and needs a greater analytical depth and source material than anything you will have experienced as an undergraduate.
You’ll benefit from the resources of a city that’s steeped in history.
Hull History Centre offers a treasure trove of archive material, and our Maritime Historical Studies Centre is globally recognised as a centre for maritime history research. We also contribute to Hull’s Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Normally a 2.2 Honours degree in history or a related discipline (or international equivalent). In order to ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students. We reserve the right to close applications early to either group, if application volumes suggest that this blend cannot be achieved. In addition, existing undergraduate students at the University of Hull have a guaranteed ‘Fast Track’ route to any postgraduate programme, subject to meeting the entry criteria. |

Summary
Hull’s MA in History combines thematic modules to give you the confidence to take part in historical debate beyond your immediate specialism.
Cutting-edge theoretical approaches and methodologies will reflect on complex contemporary global challenges like climate change, social justice, conflict, political and economic change, and the disruption of historic categories and forms of government. You will learn to ask questions that matter just as much to a medievalist as to a historian of the present and widen your analytic lens to explore new topics and seek answers in the areas you are passionate about.
