Our newest programme, Russian History and Culture, is taught in conjunction with Modern Languages and Politics. Students will follow a varied programme covering the history, politics, language and literature of Russia. Students on all our programmes take a double-weighted Modern History Module in their first year, specially designed to foster communication skills and group work through the study of nineteenth and twentieth century history. In their final year all students produce a dissertation based on independent research. The history department is one of the most active contributors to Keele's well-known continuing education programme with a range of study days, courses and certificates.
Applications are welcome.
We have a flourishing community of postgraduate research students mostly working on local history, early modern English history, the cultural history of international relations and international organised crime. We welcome postgraduate applications in all fields where we can offer effective supervision. Office and computer facilities are provided, and research training is provided through the Faculty of Humanities. There are regular local history seminars, an interdisciplinary early modern seminar and a general departmental seminar. All welcome visitors to the university.
