MA Renaissance and Early Modern Studies

Through seminars and workshops with leading academics, you'll develop methodical research and archival skills to complement your specialist knowledge in this fascinating field, from visual and material culture to the history of religion, politics and political philosophy via music and the history of space/performance.

You'll become part of the lively community of the Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (CREMS), interacting with peers from many different disciplines and bringing new perspectives to your work. Staff from eight departments come together to make CREMS the largest centre of its kind in the UK, and allows you a truly interdisciplinary experience.

As well as regular research seminars, students have their own postgraduate forum (Cabinet of Curiosities), which hosts socials, invited speakers, symposiums and film nights. By the time you graduate, you'll have a rich expertise in your chosen field, superbly positioned to pursue PhD research or develop a career in the heritage and cultural sector.
