ENHANCED CLINICAL PRACTICE

PgD/PgC

The overall aim of this programme is to enable you to engage in critical debate around issues pertinent to the roles and responsibilities within enhanced professional practice. Through this you will develop into a skilled and confident practitioner able to work in a professionally autonomous way demonstrating leadership within your area of practice, becoming accountable for your own professional and clinical decisions.

The programme also aims to enable you to critically evaluate personal and professional development needs in relation to enhanced professional practice and implement appropriate responses. This critical evaluation, and engagement with primary research, allows you to develop your knowledge and understanding in relation to the evidence base underpinning your field of practice, and your knowledge and understanding in relation to the research process.

History Ma

This MA is designed to take your previous experiences of studying history to the next level. Whatever your motives for postgraduate study – for personal fulfilment, to progress in a career where the skills of a historian are required or valuable, or in preparation for doctoral studies – our MA in History will provide you with the necessary understandings, knowledge and skills.

The course explores topics at a national and transnational level which are some of the most pressing of our own times and at the forefront of current historiographical enquiry: the contested nature of knowledge and truth, environmental change, war and conflict, sexuality and gender, violence, identity and selfhood, decolonialisation, migration and globalisation.

As part of your studies, you will gain the practical skills required to work as a successful historian learning how to interrogate the different types of evidence used to interpret the past and develop your own approaches to primary and secondary sources.

Our MA History also benefits from a unique partnership between the University and Suffolk Archives; the purposebuilt archive and learning centre, The Hold. Located on-campus, this is where much of your teaching will take place. You will have unrivalled access to archival sources and research facilities, and the chance to work alongside professional archivists and heritage specialists on placements and public history projects.

You will also be joining a History team with a growing national reputation. The BA History at University of Suffolk was ranked third in The Guardian League Table in 2021 and was recently ranked first among History undergraduate courses for student satisfaction in the Complete University Guide for 2021/22. It was awarded 100% in the National Student Survey in 2021 and has achieved this result in 10 of the last 11 years.
