Course Overview

This course is run by the internationally recognized Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies (SBC), established thirty years ago as the first research center of its kind at a British university. Based in the History department but avowedly interdisciplinary, the SBC is unique in its focus on the cultural history and memory of the genocide, as well as its longstanding commitment to advancing research in Holocaust Studies and the history of mass violence. With the support of our core team of research-active specialist historians, you will study how genocide comes about in different chronological and geographical contexts, and how societies and individuals come to terms with violence. A strong comparative element will encourage students to reflect on similarities and differences between different genocides and how societies experienced them. 

If you choose the Holocaust and Genocide Studies specialist pathway of our History MA, your degree certificate will read 'MA History (Holocaust and Genocide Studies)'. Alternatively, you can opt for one of the other pathways or the standard History MA:

  • History (Local History) MA
  • History (Urban History) MA
  • History MA
