MA History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies provides a range of options for studying the history of the SSEES region (Central, Eastern and South-East Europe and Russia) from the early modern period to the present. Students can explore, among other themes, the rise of nationalism, modernisation, transition to democracy, architecture, arts, and urbanisation in territories where mighty empires and many nations have interacted and competed over the centuries: the Russian Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Habsburg Monarchy, the Ottoman Empire, the German Empire, and their successor states. You are encouraged to choose from modules which are as diverse in geography as they are varied in approach. The programme is especially rich in modules exploring the relationship between power and culture. Several methods modules are available to underpin your studies. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some have degrees in the study of the region; others have no acquaintance with central and Eastern Europe and Russia. We welcome students with one or more of the area's languages, and encourage those without a language to take one up, although this is not compulsory.
