Aims of the Programme:
This programme explores historic transformations in British society and culture between c.1600 and 1800 from the urban perspective. The aim is to provide an opportunity for broad-based, multi-disciplinary study of major transformations in the urban and cultural spheres in British society.
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.
Contents
All our History MLitt degrees have a common structure of 60 (4 x 15) credits of:
- Generic Skills
- Theory in the Humanities
- Historical Skills
- Historical Sources
Plus modules specific to the named award, followed by a 60 credit dissertation.
This programme has the core module The City as Laboratory, which focuses on the main aspects of change in this period and on examining key historical debates in this field. The perspective is broad, comparative and encompasses visual culture as well as the changing built environment.
Students then undertake an individual programme of directed readings, depending on their research interest and in preparation for their dissertation. Overall, the programme provides a strong preparation for students keen to proceed to research work in any area of British history in this period, but especially in urban, social and cultural history.
