Master in Early Modern History

The Master Programme in Early Modern History will provide you with knowledge of, and insight into the Early Modern world ca. 1350-1850, with special focus on Europe but with some attention to other parts of the world. We offer a broad understanding of Early Modern times coupled with a strong emphasis on research skills. The place of instruction is the beautiful Swedish town of Uppsala, which boasts a mediaeval cathedral, a sixteenth-century castle, a university dating to the fifteenth century and the famous student nations. The programme stresses research skills and an independent thesis project. Since 2009 more than forty percent of the graduates with a Master s degree in History from Uppsala University have been accepted into a PhD programme in Sweden or abroad.
