MA Public History

Learning Methods and Strategies

The pedagogical focus of the course is upon interaction between students and tutors and with each other. This approach is adopted to develop a supportive environment, which is essential if students are to develop their skills and interests as historical writers and researchers.

Much emphasis is placed upon students engaging directly with written material, artefacts, ephemera and concepts. The course modules are taught by a range of approaches: presentations, seminars, one to one tutorials. Within classes emphasis is placed on inter-active teaching and learning.
