In de specialisatie Middeleeuwse en vroegmoderne Europese geschiedenis van de onderzoeksmaster Geschiedenis richt je je op de grootschalige culturele en politieke transformaties die de periode van 1300 tot 1700 karakteriseerden. Je kunt je specialiseren in de geschiedenis van de Lage Landen, in die tijd een van Europa’s belangrijkste commerciële, culturele en politieke centra. Maar je kunt je ook verdiepen in de geschiedenis van andere delen van Europa, in het bijzonder het Habsburgse Rijk.
Career
The main aim of the programme is to ensure that after graduation, you are able to function as a junior academic researcher—either in a semi-academic position or at a university. You will be able to solve complex academic problems independently, critically and creatively, and report on these results with clarity both in writing and verbally. You will be qualified to continue to PhD research.
As a graduate with a research master’s diploma, you will be qualified to pursue a career as a researcher within an institution or a company, or continue in a PhD programme. The research master’s diploma is the ideal preparation for a PhD position in a history department anywhere in the world. However, if you choose not to follow an academic career, you may consider positions for which an academic level of thinking is required, in particular those for which research skills are a must. This could include work at research institutes, in policy-making government posts and positions with NGOs, international organisations or companies, in journalism, public relations and business services.
If you are interested in a career in teaching, you can follow a teacher-training MA at the ICLON Graduate School of Education once you have graduated from the master’s programme. You have to speak fluent Dutch to follow the course, and there are some additional entry requirements.
