Summary
Overview
Can you imagine delving into the red velvet bag that was said to have contained Sir Walter Raleigh’s decapitated head? If you’d like to explore early modern history, analyse sources – including material ones, like macabre bags – and learn new skills, this course is for you.
You’ll focus on culture, politics, religion and society between 1500 and 1830, spanning Britain, continental Europe and the Atlantic world. Guided by historians with internationally-recognised experience, you'll explore diverse topics and acquire the expertise for advanced historical research, as demonstrated in your dissertation.
Seminars will deepen your knowledge of early modern history, whilst tutorials will explore specialised areas, and practical sessions will include paleography, helping you to decipher historical handwriting. We also offer training in using specialist historic maps and geographic information systems (GIS).
Our local region, rich in early modern history, provides fantastic opportunities. You’ll learn from partners at local archives, museums and heritage institutions. You’ll use material from the amazing collection held on campus at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, and you’ll be able to participate in activities led by our Centre for East Anglian Studies.
You’ll leave this MA Early Modern History course, equipped to take many different pathways. You’ll discover how to apply your skills in the heritage industry and other professions, and we’ll provide you with placement and networking opportunities. You’ll also graduate ready to develop your studies at doctoral level, and with qualities that are in high demand by employers, including problem-solving, database user-experience, teamworking, and excellent oral and written skills.
