In the master's programme Europe 1000-1800 at Leiden University you will learn to think comparatively about practices of power in premodern Europe in its global context. The courses are designed by leading scholars who work on comparative approaches to concepts such as dynasty, holy war, and citizenship, contrasting historical experiences across the globe. With this training students develop their own ideas focusing on communities, states and networks in and across Europe and the Mediterranean between 1000-1800.
Our courses explore how premodern practices of power, and the knowledge cultures that supported them, developed, were communicated and challenged.
Learn from leading scholars
The programme is taught by inspired academics currently engaged in large-scale research projects on issues directly related to the master in Europe 1000-1800, including feuds and factions, the Burgundian nobility, war memories and identity formation. They will teach you how to think comparatively about the transformations in politics, culture and religion that took place during 1000-1800. You will also engage closely in current scholarly debates, honing your ability to analyse and critique the latest academic ideas and theories.

The master’s programme in Colonial and Global History at Leiden University offers the most in-depth and comprehensive programme on the history of colonialism and globalisation currently available in Europe. You will join a master in which you will explore the mutual interaction between the global and the local: between globalisation and regional processes of identity- and state-formation. In a highly stimulating and international academic environment, you will participate in the latest debates in the field of colonial and global history and you will contribute yourself to the progress of that field by investigating unexplored primary sources. While the programme highlights the global connections and entanglements made by conquest, trade and migration, you will gain a comparative understanding of European imperialism and its impact on Asia, Africa and South America.

In the MA Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence at Leiden University you will study processes of migration, urbanisation, economic development and the increase in global interaction.
In this History master’s degree you will focus on processes that are subjects of heated current societal and political debates. You will study them from a comparative and historical perspective (covering the period 1500 until today) and place them in the wider frameworks of the development of trade networks, the emergence of multinationals, economic growth and stagnation, and regional unification.
Leiden University has a long tradition of studying migration and ethnicity and you will benefit from the expertise of a large team of enthusiastic and very diverse teachers. You will learn to understand and contribute to current debates about migration, urbanisation, globalisation, economic growth and inequality from a historical and comparative perspective. You will also analyse urban and state institutions and their effects on inclusion and exclusion, urban crime and criminal behaviour, and the development of freedoms and un-freedoms (including slavery).
The programme offers three specialisations:
* The Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence general programme;
* Economic history;
* The interdisciplinary programme Governance of Migration and Diversity.

In the master’s programme Politics, Culture and National Identities you will be at the forefront of a new approach to understand how national politics and identities in Europe are conceived. You will be part of a master's programme that takes a broad, comparative approach to the study of the political and national identities of a number of European countries and the United States spanning the period from 1789 until the present. The programme takes an international perspective by looking at the relations between different countries in the Western World instead of the more limited national approaches. Your understanding of how national identities and political views have evolved will enable you to make a valuable contribution to the debates that continue to dominate both public and academic forums, including discussions about the EU, democracy and populism.
Cultural transfer
You will examine the evolution of the political culture and national identities of countries such as the Netherlands, Great Britain, Russia or the United States – and how these countries influenced each other through 'cultural transfer': the adoption of examples from other countries and the inspiration they engender. You will explore how ‘cultural transfer’ can be applied to the political domain, for instance with regard to social movements, parties, parliaments and the use of national symbols and myths.

The MA Ancient History is your opportunity to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the history of the Greek and Roman periods, with a focus on the mentality and social and economic history of the period between 400 B.C. and 400 A.D.
This programme will give you a thorough grounding in several key periods of ancient history. These include: the complex history of the Roman Republic; civic life in Italy, Asia Minor and Egypt; Graeco-Roman religion; Late Antiquity; and the rise of early Judaism. During the Ancient History programme you will collaborate with outstanding scholars from the Ancient History department, as well as those active in other fields of history or the related fields of the classics, ancient philosophy, classical archaeology, religious studies and near-eastern cultures.
The study of ancient sources
The Ancient History MA programme has a particularly strong focus on primary sources, offering a wealth of information about ancient Greek and Roman societies. You can pursue interests in documentary texts (inscriptions and papyri) and archaeological material. You will not need extensive knowledge of Latin and Greek because you can work with translations. Furthermore, you can study the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities and work alongside papyrologists at the Leiden Papyrological Institute.

Maritime History is a specialisation of the Master's programme Colonial and Global History at Leiden University. Maritime history has enjoyed a real renaissance in the past two decades, experiencing an interdisciplinary transition known as the 'Oceanic Turn'.

* Why have humans taken to the sea?
* How have different societies mastered the sea?
* Have seas and oceans connected or divided people, commodities, values, and ideas?
Why study Maritime History?
* You will gain knowledge about the enduring and ever-changing relationship between humankind and the sea.
* You will connect developments in global shipping to transitions in colonial and post-colonial societies.
* You will have the opportunity to do an internship at maritime museums or cultural heritage institutions.

In Leiden University’s master’s in Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence you will study processes of migration, urbanisation, economic development and global interaction through time.
Focus on local and global level
Its central question is: how did people’s lives in the past half millennium change, by processes of urbanisation, increased mobility, economic change, and global interaction? How did key transformations in various parts of the world change people’s lives? Key transformations were globalisation, (de)colonisation, industrialisation, migration, state formation, urbanisation and changing gender patterns. We focus both on the local and the global level.
Explore the movement of people, goods, services, capital, and ideas
We are interested in the way people, both men and women, cause and are affected by social, cultural and economic processes. Within the specialisation Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence (CMGI), you will look at the movement of people, goods, services, capital, and ideas. You will study the means by which actors influence these changes, but also the restrictions they encounter, which can be demographic, physical, spatial, political, institutional, legal, technical, financial, and imagined.
