In addition to taking modules directly related to the Holocaust and / or genocide, you therefore also have the opportunity to take alternative disciplinary approaches and study modules that are relevant to, but not directly related to, the topic.
All students will take two core modules: Research Skills in the Study of Holocaust and Genocide: Methodologies and Sources, Holocaust and Genocide: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Perspectives, MA / Diploma / Certificate Holocaust and Genocide students will also take an additional module: Dissertation Preparation and Guided Reading (Holocaust and Genocide). See below for full details of core modules.
Certificate students will take one optional module, while Diploma and MA students will take three optional modules, from a wide range of related Masters-level options within the College of Arts and Law, as well as within the Department of Political Science and International Studies (College of Social Sciences) from the University of Birmingham. Certificate students are advised to take a module which directly relates to the study of Holocaust and/or genocide, chosen in consultation with the programme leader.
MA and Diploma students also have the option to choose up to two of their modules from the wider College; again, this should be done in consultation with the programme leader. MA students will complete the programme with a dissertation - this can either be a written or placement-based dissertation. If you choose to complete a written dissertation its length will be 15,000 words.
