How will I be taught and assessed?


Most modules are taught by a weekly lecture followed by a weekly seminar, where groups of 15 students meet with their tutor to discuss their reading, to work together with primary sources, or to make presentations to the rest of the group. You will have one-to-one tuition for your dissertation.


Assessment methods include essays, coursework journals, oral presentations, book and film reviews, source analysis, and the dissertation. Your degree is


awarded on the basis of coursework completed throughout your second and third years, and examinations taken at the end of each of these years. If you are spending part or all of your third year abroad, you will be assessed by your host institution.


Our courses are designed to enable you to develop your skills in information finding and gathering; critical analysis; constructing and communicating ideas and arguments, both verbally and on paper; and group work. All of these skills are transferable to the world of work.


Career opportunities The skills and knowledge that you gain in completing a history course prepare you for many different careers. Our graduates are currently employed in teaching, librarianship, museums and archive services, the Civil Service, local government, law enforcement, charity administration, banking, law, industrial and retail management, media research, electronic publishing, marketing, IT, health service administration and many other fields.


We also offer MA and PhD programmes for those interested in the further study of history, at postgraduate level.
