Hello!

Good to hear of another student interested in history. I am currently undertaking a PhD in the subject.

I did an MA in Modern European History in 2009-2010. I had a very good time, and would heartily recommend it. Especially if you're doing it full time, it will only be a year long too.

A few hints and tips:

1. Think carefully about what type of history you wish to study for your MA. It will be more specialised than anything you've done before.
2. Think carefully about what you want your thesis to be about.
3. Start early on the above.
4. Just out of interest, you say your BA is in Politics and International Relations - any particular reason you wish to slightly adapt your path from this subject to that of history? (Though, to be sure, many of the skills you would have picked up will be transferable to your new area).

Best wishes, and good luck with your choice!

Hi Noctu

I think that's right - though I'll check of course. Thanks for replying.

I passed my transfer up panel in June this year. Just going into my second year, and I've received my report. Is it normal that my period of registration lasts until 2014, a year after my funding ends?

Cheers.
