早期现代史 MA Early Modern History

This MA examines the history of Britain, Europe, and the wider world between 1500 and 1800, with a focus on political, cultural, religious, and social history. Students develop the specific skills required to research early modern topics, including working with archives and acquiring the linguistic and palaeographic skills to engage with documents from Britain, Ireland, France, the German lands, Portugal, and the Iberian world. The programme covers the Reformation, the Enlightenment, gender, the material world of the Renaissance, and histories of race and racism. Students may also take interdisciplinary modules in early modern English, French literature, or Digital Humanities, or improve a language at the King's Language Centre.
