Overview

The MA in Modern History from Canterbury Christ Church University aims to enable you to develop:

Knowledge and understanding of the approaches and methods used by historians from a range of sub-disciplines to study modern period.
Training in specific research skills commensurate with your future career plans and continuing professional development.
Confidence in handling a broad spectrum of primary evidence.
An appreciation of a culturally and socially sensitive learning environment.
The ability to analyse and evaluate theories and approaches to the study of the modern period.
An understanding of the values of internationalisation, global citizenship and sustainability, through reflection on the diversity of modern cultures.

Your future career

The course offers opportunities to those who wish to pursue an eclectic generalist programme of modules and to those who seek specialisation in particular areas of Modern History. The underlying principle here is choice.

The MA is a significant qualification, but its successful completion could also fast track you to MPhil and ultimately to PhD qualifications. The research and writing skills you'll gain, together with the specialist disciplinary knowledge developed during the course and work placements undertaken, will enhance your employability and help you find a career in education, the civil service, journalism, finance, the law, politics, and heritage.
