历史学（近代早期史 1500-1700） MPhil History (Early Modern History 1500-1700)

The MPhil in History (Early Modern 1500-1700) will introduce you to the latest developments in the study of British, European, and World history in the early modern period. The MPhil includes a sustained period devoted to archival research and writing, and is designed to give you a thorough training in historical research, improve your ability to conceptualise and engage with historical problems, and enlarge your understanding of the historical and historiographical context in which your own research is set. The course can serve as either a free-standing graduate qualification, or as a springboard to doctoral study. Students wishing to proceed to doctoral study will be encouraged to develop their doctoral proposals during the first few months of the second year.
