M.A. IN LOCAL HISTORY
Prospectus and list of dissertations.
M.A. IN LOCAL HISTORY
Prospectus and list of dissertations; The course is the most comprehensive of its kind in England. It aims to provide you with a training, up to basic research level, in the 'Leicester' approach to English Local History as a subject that is comparative across the nation: topographically grounded; increasingly cultural in its concerns; interdisciplinary in its methodologies (including appreciation of the wide potential of IT). The course is thus designed to furnish an up-to-date springboard from which teachers, educationalists, heritage workers, museum curators, archaeologists or potential Ph.D. students may then take off for their own particular needs. Students also include those who wish to study local history as a leisure interest.
MA in Landscape, Heritage and Society
The MA in Landscape, Heritage and Society is a two-year, part-time modular programme, which is designed to:
provide students with the opportunity to acquire a broad understanding and appreciation of the historical development of the British landscape in relation to human activities
examine, in greater depth, selected themes and topics in a national, regional or local context
explore the ways in which the historical landscape and physical heritage of Britain have been managed, conserved, interpreted and presented by past and present generations.
History Courses at Burton Manor
History courses at Burton Manor cover a wide range of subjects, including national history, e.g. Roman Briton, and ancient history, e.g. Egyptian, Chinese history, as well as local and family history. In our new programme Local history includes Lord Leverhulme and Port Sunlight as well as a two new courses looking at different aspects of Liverpool in its run up to becoming European Capital of Culture in 2008.
Local Courses
The new North West Region has a great collection of courses for the coming year. Four booklets covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire are available. For more information and a copy of the best brochure for you, email Jean McKenna at the Liverpool Office and she will post one out to you. PDF copies available to download from their site.
