As one of Britain’s leading centres for the postgraduate study of global, international and imperial histories, we bring together internationally recognised expertise in the histories of South, East and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as the wider history of imperialism, decolonisation, migration, war, humanitarianism and globalisation.

Course description

One of Britain’s leading centres for the postgraduate study of global, international and imperial histories, the Department of History brings together internationally recognised expertise in the histories of South, East and Southeast Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as in the wider history of imperialism, decolonisation, migration, war, humanitarianism and globalisation.

The MA in Global History draws on this expertise to provide a deeper understanding of the forces shaping world history.

Modules

The taught component of the MA is designed to develop your understanding of key historiographical and methodological approaches. You will take a core module, which examines the essential workings of your chosen area of expertise and develops your skills in using relevant sources.

Optional modules allow you to undertake the technical training best suited to your research needs and study major historical themes in closer detail.

The dissertation provides you the opportunity to further develop your skills and apply your historical knowledge to an independent research project.

A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.

You will take three core modules.

You can find out more about staff working on global history topics on our research strengths page. The exact availability of staff to supervise MA dissertations varies from year to year.

The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

Duration

1 year full-time
2 years part-time

Teaching

You’ll be taught through seminars, workshops and individual tutorials. Teaching and assessment methods may vary for non-history modules.

Assessment

Assessment is through written papers, oral presentation, and a dissertation.

Your career

An MA in history will further develop the range of transferable skills at your disposal. You will have the freedom to tailor your research and focus on the skills that are most important to you. We offer modules that are specifically designed to provide you with skills in public history – modules such as Presenting the Past and the work placement, give you real hand-on experience.

These kinds of skills are why our graduates are successful in both further study and a wide range of careers – from lecturing and working in the museum and tourist industry to business management, marketing, law and working in the media.

Supporting PhD progression

We offer tailored support for students planning to progress to PhD study following their MA degree.

Workshops

In autumn, there will be workshops to help you prepare for writing funding applications.

These sessions provide you with information about the funding opportunities available at Sheffield and give you the opportunity to discuss and receive feedback on your draft research proposal.

You can also speak to current PhD students who have been successful in applying for funding and to review successful applications.

This will enable you to tailor your research proposal to the criteria of major funding bodies and ensure that you are presenting your research, suitability and fit in the strongest way possible.

One-to-one support

You will be encouraged to engage in one-to-one sessions with your proposed supervisor. They will be able to offer tailored support in devising and developing your research project and identifying appropriate research material.

Your supervisor will also offer guidance on how to best present the originality; intellectual purpose and research context of your proposal ensuring that you are framing your approach and rationale for undertaking your project and successfully identifying why your suitability for undertaking the project and why your proposed supervisor – and Sheffield more generally – are a strong fit for your research.

You will be encouraged to begin speaking to your proposed supervisor early to ensure that you have plenty of time to work with them and develop a strong project and well written proposal.

Entry requirements

A 2:1 honours degree in history or another humanities or social science discipline.

You may be asked to supply examples of previous written work.

Pathway programme for international students

This course is designed to develop your English language and academic skills. Upon successful completion, you can progress to degree level study at the University of Sheffield.
