The MLitt serves as an alternative to a PhD for those who already hold a master's degree and wish to pursue a significant research endeavor. Available across most disciplines within the Faculty of Arts (subject to approval and supervisory availability), this program lets you deepen your expertise in your current field or explore entirely new research areas. Particularly valuable for academic or professional advancement without committing to doctoral studies, the MLitt offers flexible opportunities. For History postgraduates, it provides a chance to enhance skills and focus on specialized historical topics aligned with personal interests. Students are expected to engage with contemporary historical debates and key theoretical advancements that have shaped the discipline over recent decades.
You need to have completed a masters degree in any discipline from a recognised university (or similar institution) with a GPE of 4.0 or higher.
