MA in History (F28) – Qualification withdrawal

The Open University originally planned to withdraw the MA in History (F28) on 31 December 2023. This withdrawal date has now been extended to 31 December 2024. In order to claim this qualification, students must complete all academic requirements by this new date.

We also previously stated that the modules that make up this Masters qualification would end in 2020 (A825) and 2022 (A826). This information has now changed; both modules will run for a further year as follows:

  • MA History Part 1 (A825) will start for the final time in October 2021
  • MA History Part 2 (A826) will start for the final time in May 2023.

If a student has any concerns about their ability to complete by this new date, and in particular if they need to defer a module, they should seek immediate advice from their Student Support Team.

Please talk to your Student Support Team if you need any further information. You can find out how to contact them on Contact the OU.
