Description : As I have interest in working in field of history, after completion of my
undergraduate degree I decided to enroll myself for the MA Degree in history. I have learned
many things by enrolling myself for the PHD. Course. During the MA degree in history, I have
attended classes of different subject, but the class which I found the most interesting is Research
methodologies. I would like to state that research methodology class was much more interesting
than what I have expected. Before attending the class I was completely unaware about research
methods. My ultimate career goal is to complete my MA degree in history. In addition to this, I
want to become like an open minded individual and want to work in the field of history
particularly in museum field (Jackson and Oliver, 2018). By enrolling for the MA in history
course, I intend to analyze the knowledge and skills required by an individual in order to work in
the museum setting. It is basically a museum educational director type Job.
Feelings: During the first day of my class, I felt little nervous as well as exited. Its just a
mixed feeling I had before attending the class. I was eager to know about the topic which will be
taught to us during the MA in history course. I enjoyed the way there has been discussions on the
topics every week. I also felt that the things which I have learned during the MA in history
course was very much helpful in selecting the suitable career path. The theories which has been
taught to use during the classes of history has enable me to think in different ways.
