University of Nottingham, School of Humanities Masters Degrees

In the School of Humanities, all our disciplines – history, classics, archaeology, music, philosophy, theology and religion - offer perspectives on the most significant aspects of human life and culture: birth, love and death, questions of ethics and problems of knowledge and evidence, the relation of our future to our past, and the individual’s place in society and the world.

The humanities do not offer certainties or straightforwardly ‘right’ answers but they do require students to respond to profound and important questions about things that really matter and will never date.

As well as excellence in teaching and learning and research, you will have use of the Hallward Library, Manuscripts and Special Collections, the Digital Transformations Hub, and other specialist facilities. We also offer a range of work experience through placements and volunteering. It's no surprise then that our graduates are popular with employers: the transferable skills humanities teach are well-known and very much in demand.
