MA in Metropolitan and Regional History
Institute of Historical Research, University of London
The MA in Metropolitan and Regional History takes as its main theme the nature
of the relationships between large cities and regions in history, focusing on
the history of London and the English localities from the middle ages to the
present day. Students are introduced to key ideas, sources and methods, and
learn to apply them to the study of interconnected themes in metropolitan and
regional history
The MA is taught by staff at two of the United Kingdom's leading research
centres, the Centre for Metropolitan History and the Victoria County History.
Both are based within the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) and School of
Advanced Study in the University of London, where students can draw on wealth of
expertise in local and metropolitan history as well as unrivalled library and
other resources for the study of the history of London and of the English
regions. Students join a thriving and lively community of students, researchers
and teachers at the IHR and take full advantage of the facilities and resources
of the central University, as well as the nearby British Library, the Museum of
London and other important national centres.
