Masters Degree in History The University of Edinburgh
- Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Recent graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a 2:1 MA degree in History. During my time at university I thoroughly enjoyed my course and chose to focus on twentieth century history, particularly centred around the United States. My dissertation topic was: "How did the inconsistencies between President Dwight Eisenhower’s Rhetoric on United States Foreign Policy and Actual Practice Constitute a ‘Dangerous Disconnect’?"
Studying for a history degree allowed me to develop a number of core skills, including accuracy, analysis and research skills. It also allowed me to indulge my communication and presenting skills through a large number of presentations on topics to fellow students and academics.
