If you opt for a Master of Arts in History and cherish a truly open international academic atmosphere you should consider the specialisation History of European Expansion and Globalisation. This programme explores the dynamic interaction between civilisations in global history. We explore the question how worldwide political, economic, cultural and religious contacts have shaped processes of regional identity- and state-formation. The programme yields a strong comparative and connective perspective on transnational processes such as imperialism, colonialism, islamisation, modernisation and globalisation.
Apart from this global, panoramic perspective, this specialisation offers intensive practical and in-depth training in the investigation of primary sources by the best scholars in the field. Due to the international appeal of the Leiden research- and scholarship-programme Cosmopolis you will be part of a truly international community of students and scholars.
Research/PhD
Anyone with a master’s degree can, in principle, apply for a PhD track. The procedure for admission to the PhD track is conducted by means of job applications. Students with a particular interest in an academic career are advised to opt for a research master’s programme, since these programmes explicitly prepare students for research at PhD level.
Information about application and programmes can be found at the Leiden Humanities Gradute School website.
