Course content

The Master of Research in Humanities offers an academically rigorous, one year full-time or two year part-time “research preparation” Masters programme focussed on your interests, available across a broad range of disciplines in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities in a programme uniquely suited to interdisciplinary research. It gives you the opportunity to undertake an extended piece of research within a programme of study designed in collaboration between you and your supervisor(s). It can be pursued as an end in itself for personal or career development, or as a stepping-stone to doctoral study (PhD).
