Overview
Over the course of the two-year program, students work with preeminent historians at both institutions to explore the transnational forces that have shaped and continue to remake our world: migration, trade, technology, religion, epidemic disease, the environment, diplomacy, and war.
Key Features
- This research-orientated program offers an opportunity to explore these ideas and connects vibrant intellectual communities in two global cities: London and New York.
- While many graduates go on to undertake PhDs, the MA/MSc in International and World History at Columbia University also offers a launching pad for careers in many other fields, including, but not limited to, government, journalism, NGOs, and international organizations.
Programme Structure
- The two-year core sequence begins with Approaches to International and Global History (HIST GR8930), which introduces the conceptual possibilities and problems of international and world history, and the year-long MA/MSc Research Skills and Methods (HISTGR5000).
- The latter is a series of practical workshops that help students develop their dissertation topics and begin their research. At LSE, students enroll in their final core course, a year-long Dissertation Workshop (HY458), designed to help students write their dissertations as well as think about where they would like to take their careers after their time in the program has finished.
