CCBH staff are moving to KCL
|
King’s College London and the Institute of Historical Research are pleased to announce that from 1 August 2010 staff currently working in the Centre for Contemporary British History at the IHR will transfer to KCL. There they will join a cross-school unit in contemporary history within King’s Arts and Sciences Schools.
The transfer includes CCBH’s MA and PhD programmes and its witness seminars.
Special arrangements are being made for the transfer and ongoing supervision and tuition of current CCBH students.
Professor Miles Taylor, Director of the IHR, says of the move, ‘For the last decade the CCBH, supported by the IHR, has really put contemporary history on the map, and I am delighted that its future will be secured by this move’.
Professor Keith Hoggart, Vice-Principal (Arts and Sciences) at King’s commented, ‘I am pleased to welcome these distinguished historians of the IHR to King’s and am confident that their work will considerably strengthen historical scholarship at the College’.
From October 2010 the MA in Contemporary British History will be offered at KCL. See the Postgraduate Study pages on this website for more details, including information on the new History & Policy option courses, or click here to go straight to the MA on the KCL site.
