The Master of History is available to students who wish to undertake advanced studies in history.  It is a flexible degree which, while containing a compulsory component focused on the theoretical understanding and practical skills required in the study of history at an advanced level, also allows students to tailor a program to suit their particular needs.  Some courses are designed to meet the needs of teachers working in schools with the national curriculum in history; others cover a broad range of periods, regions, topics and varieties of history. Students who complete the degree at a satisfactory standard (70%) will be qualified and well prepared to undertake the Master of Historical Research.
