Our postgraduate programmes train students in cutting-edge research and academic specialisation.
While most creative writing Master's degrees encourage students to sample a variety of written forms, our creative writing degree focuses on the novel, pure and simple. Students begin to write their first novel in a year with the input and supervision of published writers and industry experts.
Study on the frontline of global affairs with our Diplomacy and International Relations master’s. You’ll balance theory and practical skills while covering topics like:
- public diplomacy
- unconventional diplomacy
- international relations theory
- migration
- security
- global governance
- international political economy.
Most people's sense of the past comes from public history, through film and television, fiction, museums, heritage sites and memory work. This Public History postgraduate degree looks at the kinds of pasts that are produced in these popular forms. It examines how they are made and the ways in which they are consumed and understood. As part of your Public History degree you'll be able to gain practical experience of working in a cultural heritage site, museum, gallery or archive.
