Program details
Overview
This master's degree, undertaken by research, gives students the chance to produce an extended piece of original historical work on a topic of their own choosing, whether centred on politics and foreign policy or approached from a more interdisciplinary angle. Those with a distinctive hypothesis or line of enquiry are given room to develop and present it, while sharpening their academic writing along the way; a shorter, full-time route through the same degree exists for students who prefer it.
Delivered part-time in the evenings over six semesters for a total of 90 ECTS credits, the course is research-based throughout. Graduates go on to careers as museum researchers or curators, teachers, records managers and archivists, as well as roles in the heritage industry and media research, with those pursuing further academic study able to continue toward doctoral-level research in History.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
