Aims of the Programme:
The aim of the programme is to provide a firm introduction to all aspects of Early American History, rooting study and research in the most recent historiography.
This is one of over ten degree pathways offered in the Masters Programme in Humanities with Specialisation. Students on the Programme take some common modules, and are able to draw upon the research culture of the School of Humanities. All the core teaching is conducted 5.30-7.30pm to allow attendance by part-time and full-time students alike. Other classes are scheduled for the mutual convenience of staff and students.
The MLitt in Early America programme is the only taught MLitt degree in Britain specifically to examine the development of Britain's American colonies from their first settlement through the period of the American Revolution.
Contents
All our History MLitt degrees have a common structure of 60 (4 x 15) credits of:
- Generic Skills
- Theory in the Humanities I
- Historical Skills

On this programme, the core module focuses on some of the major themes in early American History, such as the relationship between colonists and native Americans, the formation of American identity, the development of slavery, and patterns of emigration to the North American colonies. Students then undertake an individual programme of directed readings on a specialised topic, before embarking on a dissertation based on the rich source material in the University Archives.
