Apply by 29 May 2020

The new Postgraduate Certificate in Britain and the Holocaust is the only course of its type in the country. Taught in a series of three-day teaching blocks over three termly units, the course explores the multiple ways in which the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust touched Britain, both before, during and long after WWII. The first unit examines the refugee crisis of the 1930s, as those fleeing Nazism sought refuge in Britain, only to face antisemitism and rising fascism in the UK too. In the second unit students will learn about the impact of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution in the Channel Islands, the only part of the British Isles to be occupied. The third unit explores the legacy of the Holocaust since 1945 in the realms of heritage, literature, culture, education and film.
