Introduction to postgraduate study at the CCBH
The CCBH is situated in the heart of London, with easy access to the major archives and unrivalled libraries of the UK's capital city. As part of the University of London, we offer research degrees leading to MPhil or PhD and an MA in Contemporary British History.
From autumn 2010 the MA in Contemporary British History will be offered at King’s College London. Click here for full information on the course and how to apply at the King's website.
Included in the course from 2010 are two exciting new History & Policy option courses, which consider how policy is made, how history can contribute to the policy-making process, and how it has been used to inform policy decisions in the past.
