Report Educational Leadership (International) MBA (LCLL0065)

The report for the MBA must investigate a topic or issue that is relevant to business administration in the context of educational organisations or systems. There should also be a focus on the international perspective of the planned enquiry. A Report is worth 30 credits and is 8-10,000 words (excluding references and appendices).

• The report must be based on research, either empirical or theoretical

• It can be practice-oriented

• It can address professional or policy issues

• The dissertation provides the opportunity to explore an in-depth issue, with supervision

• It introduces students to the skills and techniques required for research and writing scholarly publications

• Dissertations are based on independent study supported by supervision

• The word length and therefore the scope of the study is normally the major difference between Dissertations and Reports.

Crown Church and Estates in Central Europe 1500-1700 (HIST0470)

By the end of the fifteenth century, the Estate of nobility had accumulated substantial political power in Central Europe, defined for these purposes as the crownlands of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland, all then ruled by the Jagiellon dynasty, as well as the Habsburgs' lands of Lower, Upper, Inner and Further Austria. Through the institutions of diets, dietines and counties, the nobilities had encroached upon the reserved rights of the crown, won privileges at the expense of the towns, and reinforced their legal jurisdiction over the peasantry. This module will examine how the Habsburg rulers - kings of Bohemia and Hungary from 1526 - began the slow process of recovering the authority of the crown, which by the seventeenth century had not only obtained a high degree of confessional uniformity within its territories but had also completed the expulsion of the Ottoman Empire from Central Europe. Although this paper concentrates on kingship, confession and noble Estates in the Austrian hereditary provinces and the lands of the Bohemian and Hungarian crowns (including Silesia, Transylvania and Croatia), there will be some comparative study of the trajectory of neighbouring Poland-Lithuania, where the nobility gained in strength at the expense of the monarchy and developed a republican ideology, as well as to the workings of the Holy Roman Empire. Attention will also be paid to peasants and townsmen, to the alchemical and mystical concepts of government dominant in Central Europe at this time, to the artistic expression of monarchical, ecclesiastical and aristocratic aspirations, to the Thirty Years' War and Westphalian Settlement of 1648, the Turkish wars, and to the area of Ottoman rule.
