The University of Liverpool is one of the few universities in the UK that offers an MA programme specifically dedicated to the study of both historical and modern slavery. This means that the programme benefits from being led by a cohort of academics who are extremely committed to furthering academic research in this particular field of study and supporting students with an interest in it.
