Overview

The research master's programme builds insight into the methods and theories of the humanities broadly, alongside those specific to historical, literary and cultural studies, with an emphasis on the theoretical and methodological grounding needed for academic depth, interdisciplinary work and flexibility beyond a single field. It prepares students to conduct original research that considers complex problems from a multidisciplinary angle, and many of its graduates go on to PhD study.
