Culture of the European Renaissance MA
The University of Warwick
Key Course Facts
Course Description
Explore the wide-ranging developments of the Renaissance world and develop your research and communication skills.
Warwick’s Centre for the Study of the Renaissance is an innovator and international leader in its field, bringing together over 40 specialists from Classics, English and Comparative Literature, History, History of Art, and the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. The term in Venice will let you experience first-hand the richness of Renaissance culture.
This MA covers the period c.1300-c.1650 across Europe and beyond. It provides a foundation in the art, history, literature, philosophy, religion, and science of the period, exploring their interconnections with the social and political context.
Strongly interdisciplinary, this course provides a firm grounding in the features of the period, but also allows students to develop their own interests through a choice of modules in, for instance, classics, art history, English, and history.
The MA also encourages students to develop their skills in areas such as writing, classical and modern languages, and palaeography. Students receive an excellent preparation whether they plan to proceed to PhD work or look for jobs in sectors such as museums or galleries, archives, higher education, or fundraising.
