Explore the religious social economic political and cultural developments in the early modern world on this MA.
Course Overview
This MA programme explores religious social economic and cultural developments in the early modern world including the strains created by soaring prices and population and heightened social mobility. Most modules are taught by a team of experts ensuring that you are exposed to as many different viewpoints and approaches as possible.
In the first term you will study 2 core modules. ‘Theory Skills and Methods’ provides a foundation in historical methods and theoretical frameworks used to study society and culture from the early modern period to the contemporary world. ‘Themes in Early Modern History’ provides a critical perspective on key themes and introduces you to a range of expertise at Warwick.
In the second term you will select two optional modules each one taking a different topic and exploring it across time and space. These will help you place your early modern interests in religion gender empire consumption or medicine in a comparative framework as well as deepen your acquaintance with relevant ideas and approaches from outside early modern scholarship. These modules enable you to focus on your early modern interests (you can write all your assessed work on early modern themes) whilst situating them in a wider context that will enrich your studies.
The final key element is the dissertation - here you have a large amount of freedom to develop a project of your own choice with help and guidance from your supervisor who will meet with you throughout the third term. Throughout the year you’ll be able to take advantage of the Department’s six research centres including participating in the lively schedule of academic research seminars lectures and conferences.
The programme will appeal equally to those wishing to undertake further postgraduate study and those pursuing a career outside of the University equipping you with research writing and critical thinking skills vital in a range of professions.
