Overview

Guided by historians with internationally-recognised experience, in the MA in Early Modern History at University of East Anglia 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 palaeography, 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 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.
