About History MA in University of Nottingham
Are you fascinated by history? Do you want to understand more about the way people lived, worked, and thought in the past? Are you interested in why the past is so important to the way we live now? Our expert staff will support you to explore those very questions, while developing your own historical research into an area of your choice.
You can tailor your studies through optional modules spanning the seventh century CE to the modern day, and covering a wide geographical range including Britain, India, China, Russia, Italy, and the USA.
The key themes which we will explore include:
- Identity formation and difference
- Nationalism, nostalgia, and memory
- Authoritarianism and power
- Everyday life, religion, and culture
You are encouraged to engage with different theories and approaches for studying the past, so that you can develop your own methodology.
A specially tailored core module will develop your research skills, including hands-on sessions with archival material, and determine the theoretical and methodological approaches that best match your chosen dissertation topic.
