This is the part-time version of the main history programme. It provides you with the greatest range of choice by allowing you to design your own programme of study by selecting from any of our history modules.

Course Content

During your first two years, you acquire a solid foundation both in the main periods in British and European history from the high Middle Ages to the 20th century as well as an introduction to more specialised historical themes such as witchcraft and the environment. You also have the opportunity to reflect on how historians write history during the module Doing History. In your third and fourth years, the wide range of modules available, combined with the fact that you are virtually guaranteed your first choice of selected modules, enables you to focus, for example, on medieval history, the political and international history of Britain and Europe since 1789, social and cultural history across time, early modern and modern Britain or modern Europe. The important thing is that you choose. In your final two years the emphasis switches to more intensive Special Subject modules where you work and research in small groups on a specialised topic close to the research expertise of each member of faculty. You also complete an extended project or dissertation to demonstrate the skills you have acquired during the degree programme.

Assessment

Key skills, issues and ideas are introduced in lectures given by all members of faculty. More specialist study is undertaken in small group seminars. These are chosen from a range offered within the School and across the University. You will also spend time studying and researching in the library or carrying out practical work or projects. In most subject areas, you are assessed at the end of each year on the basis of coursework and, in some cases, project and examination results. In your final year, you will write a dissertation on a topic of your choice and with the advice of tutors. There is no final examination. Your final degree result is determined by the marks you receive in levels two and three.
