Entry requirements

Applicants must hold the degree of BA, preferably with a major sequence in history. The head of department, however, may admit a candidate with a degree in a related discipline. Where possible, applicants will be interviewed before being admitted to the diploma course.

This diploma may be of particular value to teachers of history, but it is available to any qualified person interested in pursuing study in history at postgraduate level.

The program will consist of a specially constructed course of study relevant to the previous experience and future requirements of individual candidates, each of whom will be consulted as to its design. Subjects will comprise a total of forty-eight points, at least thirty-six of which must be completed in the Department of History. The remaining twelve points may be taken, subject to the approval of the head of department, in another appropriate discipline. The diploma would be taken in one year (full-time) or normally two years (part-time).
