Why study a Masters in Intellectual History?
## Courses in the History of Ideas encourage you to think about ideas not as developing solely from the individuals that created them, but as a product of their cultural and historical contexts. For example, you may examine how the French Revolution in the 18th century was influential in the development of the Enlightenment Period in Europe. Or, you may access theories on a global scale, assessing the parallels and interrelations of human thought across all societies. Intellectual History may also encompass the ways in which ideas are expressed, such as through texts or art. As such, theories and methodologies from disciplines such as Philosophy and Art may also be incorporated. Careers in this field may include roles in academia such as teaching and publishing, as well as journalism, marketing and public relations.Refine your search
