Course summary

This Early Modern History MA examines the history of Britain, Europe, and the wider world between 1500 and 1800, highlighting themes of political, cultural, religious, and social history. You’ll learn about the various approaches to writing the history of early modern Europe whilst developing the specific skills you’ll need to research early modern topics. This includes mastering archives and gaining the linguistic and palaeographic skills to work with early modern documents from Britain, Ireland, France, the German lands, Portugal, the Iberian world, and beyond. During your Early Modern History master’s, you will learn how to critically evaluate a range of theories, methods, and approaches in the field. You’ll learn from academics about their areas of expertise and you’ll enjoy visits to libraries, archives, and museums as part of your degree. Thanks to a wide range of optional modules, you can tailor your Early Modern History MA to specialise in the areas that interest you most. At the end of your postgraduate study, you will get to work on your own piece of research and produce a dissertation.
