MA Eighteenth Century Britain
This MA scheme is designed for those postgraduate students who wish to study the history of eighteenth-century Britain as an integrated whole, whilst at the same time enabling them to specialise in the history of England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales within that context. It explores the numerous 'revolutions' (political, cultural, religious and intellectual) experienced over the course of the century, and offers specialist options in such topics as British radicals and Romantics, the Atlantic World and Ireland and the 1798 rebellion.
