The MLitt in Early Modern Studies is designed around the large number of academic staff actively researching in Divinity; History, Cultural History and History of Art; and Language and Literature for the period c.1450 to 1800. It offers expert research training and provides a unique environment for developing interdisciplinary perspectives and methodologies. Students receive individualised tuition suited to their particular interests and future research requirements. Suitable for: Any student with an interest in European history and culture between the later fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. While particular disciplinary requirements are carefully catered for, the programme as a whole will be especially appealing to (and rewarding for) those who wish to gain a more interdisciplinary approach to the period. It will also appeal to anyone looking for a thorough grounding in the research skills needed to experience the past at first hand and to those interested in pursuing postgraduate study in order to further their interest in culture and life-long learning.

Course programme

Course Structure

Students are required to undertake one compulsory interdisciplinary course. 'Approaching the early modern', which introduces different kinds of research and writing currently being practised by scholars of the early modern period. Students intending to write a dissertation will also have to take 'Dissertation in early modern studies I: sources and source criticism', which provides the specific advice and training required for their particular research project. Students must also achieve the requisite number of credits.

Part One and Part Two courses are skills-based and range from 'Introductions' to research in History, Language and Literature, and History of Art, to training in Latin, Palaeography, or Computing.

Part Three (Elective) courses are thematic and cover a range of issues and disciplines - from cities and civil societies, to language and identity, to visual and emblematic culture, to early modern Catholicism.

MLitt students are required to write a dissertation of 15-20,000 words in English over the summer.
