MA History
Our MA in History offers you the opportunity to explore a variety of historical approaches - from intellectual, political, and economic history, to social, cultural, emotional history and beyond - all within a diverse range of chronologies and geographies. A key feature of our programme is that students are given a high degree of choice from across the department's major areas of expertise. This includes our particular strengths in:
- medieval and early modern history
- contemporary British, European and American history
- global history (with particular focus on African and Asian history)
- histories of colonialism, empire, and race
- environmental history
- public history
- gender history
Given the wide range of research and teaching in the department, we are confident you will find units that reflect your own interests, whether that's the history of the English Civil Wars, natural disasters and extreme environments, empires and globalisation, or something else entirely. Alternatively, you may prefer not to specialise, and instead obtain a broad sense of historical subjects, themes, debates and methodologies.
As well as benefitting from the research expertise of our staff, you will be immersed in a vibrant postgraduate community at Bristol that is underpinned by regular programmes of seminars, guest speakers, and skills workshops. You will also be connected to a number of prestigious research groups in the Faculty of Arts in which the Department of History plays a prominent part, such as Medical Humanities, Black Humanities, Material Texts, Environmental Humanities and Medieval Studies.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
The majority of our master’s programmes require a first class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, please contact us.
We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
