Course Content

Tuition is given in the informal atmosphere of a seminar group.

The course involves "hands on experience" using documentary evidence from the 16th and 20th centuries. It will cover aspects of political, social and economic history. The documents and selected texts will be used to develop presentation and writing skills as well as practice in research techniques and interpretation. There will be a small element of information technology for which no previous experience will be needed.

Seminars take place over one evening each week from late January to mid May in the School of History. A minimum attendance of 75% is expected for these meetings. University Library facilities will be available to those registered for the course, supplemented where necessary, with photocopied materials. A short preliminary reading list will be provided to those who enrol.
