MA by Research in Public History, Oral History and Community Heritage in Huddersfield United Kingdom | University of Huddersfield

A Master of Arts (MA) by Research enables you to pursue a one-year (full-time) or two-year (part-time) academic investigation with minimal structured coursework. This format provides an opportunity to examine a focused research question within a more condensed timeframe compared to doctoral studies.

Our research programs offer flexible study options, including full-time, part-time, and select distance learning pathways.

Unlike taught Master's programs, research Master's candidates select a specialized topic and enjoy greater autonomy in their academic work.

During the initial months, you'll collaborate with your supervisor to establish an approved research plan. Throughout your investigation, you'll enhance your research capabilities through specialized training sessions and academic events.

You'll be assigned a primary supervisor, typically supported by a team of up to three advisors, who will provide guidance throughout your research journey.

Upon completion, you'll document your discoveries in a concise thesis of approximately 25,000 words for evaluation. We welcome proposals for practice-based projects that may incorporate portfolio submissions, including practical work accompanied by written analysis. Your supervisory team will advise on the appropriate balance between practical and written components in your final submission.
