Overview

Migration History- People, Objects, Cultures is offered by University of Buckingham. The MA in Migration History is a taught Master’s, based in Bloomsbury in central London, which runs for one year, from September to September.

Key Facts

In the autumn, winter, and spring terms, students take a range of modules, each of which is dedicated either to the history of migration in a particular geographical region, including a comprehensive grounding in the history of emigration and immigration in the British Isles, or to specific themes in migration history, from the role of war and repression in generating mass exoduses of refugees to the transoceanic movements forced and facilitated by the rise of global empires. These modules will meet weekly at Buckingham’s London campus at 51 Gower Street, and will consist of a mixture of lectures, seminar discussions, and class visits to relevant archives, libraries, and museums. In the spring and summer terms, students undertake a significant and independent research project in the form of a dissertation. Students may write their dissertation on any subject to do with migration history, so long as there is sufficient evidence to illuminate it. Students’ supervisors, as well as the knowledge, skills, and experience of working with relevant primary and secondary sources acquired during the taught modules, will help students to select and hone a dissertation topic of their choice.
