Study a whole world of history and culture

The invitation to study a whole world of history and culture is being extended by the School of Humanities at the University of Dundee this week with an Open Day showing off the expanding range of postgraduate study programmes.

Postgraduate study in the School is growing and the open day on Thursday will show the full range of opportunities available at Dundee. Among the subjects offered are American Studies, Archive Management, English, European Studies, History, Philosophy, Politics, and Women, Culture and Society.

Professor Callum Brown, School of Humanities Director of Postgraduate Study, said, "Our plan is to provide existing graduates in whatever subject the opportunity to study our MLitt in Humanities, specialising in particular subjects or periods like the eighteenth or the twentieth century. They can use the study to convert from one subject to another, to enhance professional qualifications, or merely for pleasure. It’s a lively community in Humanities, and we see this programme as growing ever bigger in years to come."

Courses are offered on a very flexible basis with part-time and evening study available.

The Open Day for people interested in studying a taught Masters degrees is being held at the University on Thursday 15th February, from 2-4pm and 6-8pm in the Ustinov Room at the Bonar Hall, where there will be information desks for each of the degree subjects that are taught in the School of Humanities.
