Overview

This page covers History across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in History includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone. We currently work with 4 universities on this course across 4 cities.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
