NEW!
HOLOCAUST LITERATURE; AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WRITERS AND
THEIR WORK (ROUTLEDGE 2002) NEW!
The following
is an attempt to survey Holocaust Studies related
degrees and course units currently on offer in the
United Kingdom. It was conducted on behalf of the
British Association
for Jewish Studies and the Centre
for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester
by Daniel
Langton. Numbers of students have
been given where provided by the institution. Royal
Holloway, UCL and Sheffield are the only institutions
currently offering an MA in Holocaust Studies. (The
Parkes Institute at Southampton also offers a 'Holocaust
pathway' through their MA in Jewish History and Culture).
A search engine
at the foot of this page is provided for ease of use.
(A similar survey has also been conducted for Jewish
Studies).
The majority
of the information was collected during the period
April - July 2001 (the most recent amendment was 5
March 2002 for the Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust
Studies). Any institution wishing to add, update or
correct information relating to its courses should
email info@BAJSBulletin.org.
Details
of current UK Holocaust Studies related PhD thesis
titles can be found on the BAJS
Bulletin website.
