Why study History at Dundee?

This degree offers flexible study, either full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years), in wide areas of the history of Britain, Scotland, Europe, Russia and North America. Themes range across political, cultural, military, religious, economic and social history, taught within a department of research specialists.

You will also have the opportunity to gain research skills in areas such as paleography, historical databasing, historical statistics and oral history.

The dissertation will provide an opportunity for you to develop and demonstrate advanced research skills, particularly important if you are interested in doctoral study.

Students can choose either a generic MLitt in History, or named pathways in:

• Global Empires
• Greater Britain in the Twentieth Century
• Scottish History

The MLitt in History is also a pathway on the MLitt in Humanities with Specialisation programme.

As the leading History department in Scotland for research output at international standard (RAE2008 results), we offer students an unparalleled opportunity to experience teaching at the sharp end of current research scholarship.

Postgraduate students participate in many aspects of our programme including our regular research seminars.
