Summary
The Department of History delivers expert postgraduate supervision by internationally recognised scholars in a wide range of subject areas. The department offers a lively research community in the setting of an exciting city and region with a rich heritage. Excellent research resources are available for postgraduate study locally (for example in the library's Special Collections department and its print holdings), online through the library's database subscriptions, and in close proximity to the city.
Members of the History department publish and supervise research in a range of areas within the broad fields of cultural, social, economic and political history. We cover the medieval, early modern and modern periods. Our research culture is diverse and dynamic, and our collective work includes interests in political culture, studies of people and ideas on the move, environmental history, public and creative histories, and work on visual and material culture alongside colleagues in the Department of the History of Art.
Prospective applicants should make contact with a potential supervisor before submitting an application to discuss their proposed research questions, the state of the proposed field of study and appropriate primary source material.
In addition to topics focusing on single research areas, we actively encourage interdisciplinary research that cuts across the spectrum of historical studies, or other intellectual disciplines in the Faculty of Arts and beyond.
Possible start dates are January 2024, September 2024, January 2025. Please see the programme page on our website for more information.

MA
Summary
Our MA in History offers you the opportunity to explore a variety of historical approaches, all within a diverse range of chronologies and geographies. The programme is particularly characterised by a high degree of choice, both in what and how you learn.
Students can opt to take specialist master's level units, join third-year undergraduate units, or undertake independent solo research projects. Several units also offer the chance to engage with external partners such as the SS Great Britain and BBC History Magazine.
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 medieval notions of the apocalypse, the English Civil War, maritime empires, race in North America, or something else entirely.
Across the year, students can choose to specialise by following pathways through our programme that reflect our 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
- histories of gender, sexuality, and the body.
Alternatively, you may prefer to obtain a broad knowledge of different 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. This is underpinned by regular seminar series, guest speakers, and skills workshops, as well as social events organised by our History Society and student reps. 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. This includes our centres for Medical Humanities, Black Humanities, Environmental Humanities, and Medieval Studies.
