History (Research): Europe 1000-1800

Advertisement

This specialisation focuses on the momentous cultural and political transformations that characterised the period between 1300-1700.

Unlike most other Dutch history departments, Leiden offers expertise in British, Iberian and Central European history as well as in the political and cultural history of the Netherlands. You are encouraged to think comparatively about the transformations in politics, culture and religion of this era. The staff runs larger research programmes on issues like feuds and factions, the Burgundian nobility, war memories and identity formation. Many of the courses relate to the research interests of the academic staff. The courses allow you to engage closely with current scholarly debates and offer you a chance to scrutinise new ideas as they are being developed. Excellent library and archival resources in Leiden and The Hague offer you quick and efficient access to many primary sources and secondary studies. The courses offer research training, as well as a chance to study current historical debates, so as to prepare you for the writing of an independently researched MA thesis.
