TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT AFTER YOUR COURSE COURSE FEES SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES HOW TO APPLY About the course MA in Country House Studies by research: Hampton Court to ‘Downton Abbey’ The University of Buckingham’s Master’s programme in Country House Studies offers the opportunity to pursue research at Master’s level in any one of a wide range of country-house-related topics, from explorations of individual houses and their architects and decorators, to studies of their social and political use, and the role of the country house in literature and film. Individual research topics are closely focused; but the approach of the course is to encourage students to investigate the interconnections between the country house’s multiple facets and roles, rather than to examine it in exclusively architectural-historical terms.
