The LSE’s Department of International History invites applications for three 12-month Master’s degree programmes beginning in autumn 2017.
The LSE is one of the world’s leading institutions for historical study and research. It is placed 6th globally in the most recent QS World University Rankings for History, above UCLA and Princeton. The LSE’s history postgraduates also enjoy very high employment rates, with 94.1% in employment or further study six months after graduation.
Places are available on three programmes:
MSc History of International Relations is the Department’s flagship programme. Concentrating on the modern period from the Renaissance to the Cold War, it is designed to be extremely flexible with no compulsory courses. Students can therefore tailor their degrees to fit their own areas of interest.
MSc Theory and History of International Relations is taught jointly with the Department of International Relations. A competitive programme, it allows students to take both history and IR courses, sampling both theoretical and empirical approaches to international relations.
MSc Empires, Colonialism and Globalisation is for those who wish to focus on imperial and global history in trying to understand the emergence of the modern world. Alongside a compulsory core course, student select options from the Departments of International History, Economic History and Government, as well as the Gender Institute.
All programmes usually require a 2:1 undergraduate degree or the equivalent. For more information and how to apply see http://www.lse.ac.uk/internationalHistory/home.aspx
