The comparative view should include e.g. aspects of early modern state development, early capitalist development trends, confessionalisation and a comparative view of the history of revolution.

Methods:
• Work on narratives, theories and methods of modern history using selected case studies from British and European history.

• Produce short summaries of the knowledge gained (short protocols, executive summaries)
• Discussion and application of central theories and narratives of modern history to modern English/British history
• Understanding and critically discussing historiographic debates
• Exercise of technical methods : literature research/abstracts/ scientific theses
• Practise technical methods :
o Presentation of the chosen topic (development of the ability to develop table of content, exposés)
o Seminar paper according to Curriculum requirements
