About the Department
History at Reading
Study within a stimulating research environment, broaden your understanding of history and build a unique pathway for your interests and aims.
Thanks to our co-operation with other departments across the University, the Museum of English Rural Life and external organisations such as Historic England, the National Trust, Parliament and the Wellcome Trust, our students work in a truly interdisciplinary environment and are part of a vibrant academic community.
As a master’s student, you will become an important part of the Department and of the Centre for Economic History. Master’s students are involved in our research seminar series and are routinely invited to our conferences and events. We also have a dedicated postgraduate room, where master’s and doctoral students work together, exchange ideas and support each other.
MA History is a flexible programme that can be studied on a full-time or part-time basis to suit you, as well as on a modular basis.
