Course Overview

In the first year of your history degree, we introduce you to some major historical themes such as the growth of the modern nation state or the rise of the Atlantic world. We’ll also show how new approaches can illuminate the past. Crime and vice in the 19th century, for example, looks at how Victorians dealt with drug taking and how contemporary newspapers covered the Jack the Ripper murders. The second and third years allow you to specialise in areas that interest you most. Our lecturers draw from their own research, whether that’s on early modern magic, the treatment of World War One veterans suffering from shell shock, women in modern Britain, or the USA in the 1960s.

Teaching

We place an emphasis on the skills of ‘doing’ history – the use of evidence, the nature of historical argument and the interpretation of documents. Throughout the history degree, you will develop your own research skills and learn to present your findings in written or oral form. In addition to lectures, you will participate actively in document based seminar and group discussions, individual presentations, workshop sessions and practical activities. You can also incorporate work from other humanities or social science subjects in your studies.
