The Master Programme in Modern History will provide you with knowledge of, and insight into, the modern world. The programme will give special consideration to the 20th century until today, with some attention to the 18th and 19th century background. The focus is on Europe but the programme also pays attention to other parts of the world. We offer a broad understanding of modern times coupled with a strong emphasis on research skills. The place of instruction is the beautiful Swedish town of Uppsala, which boasts a medieval cathedral, a sixteenth-century castle, a university dating to the fifteenth century and the famous student nations.
