About the course

From Marlborough to Montgomery and MacArthur

Established in 2009, this programme in Military History enables students to choose (with guidance) their own topic of research and to pursue this under expert one-to-one supervision. But in addition to developing their own specialist research, students also meet regularly to hear, and to dine and argue with, some of the most illustrious figures in the world of Military History: speakers including Sir Antony Beevor, Sir Hew Strachan, Simon Heffer, Richard Overy, James Holland, and Saul David, among others. Dinners are in the elegant and conveniently located surroundings of the Caledonian Club, off Belgrave Square, London SW1.
