Master of Arts (Honours) by Coursework and Minor Thesis (History)

This degree provides an option for students who wish to undertake an Honours Masters degree in history without a major thesis. The research component is still present in the minor thesis, but the student is able to undertake subjects outside the area of the thesis as well.

This is a degree based on a combination of coursework and a minor thesis. The course is made up by taking three subjects from the Masters schedule (which must include HIST 951 and HIST 904) and a minor thesis of 20,000 words (HIST975).

Please note: for 2001 only, students may choose from the Politics subjects in the Masters schedule for their third coursework subject.

This course normally takes one year of full-time study or two years part-time.
