In history at Dundee our emphasis is on ‘doing history’. Our students use primary sources (original documents) from archives and libraries right from the start. Study trips are also an important part of the degree programme, and visits are organised alongside our active Student History Society. There is a very strong link between research and teaching in the history programme, especially at Levels 3 and 4, where staff teach in their areas of expertise.


All our lecturers are internationally-recognised experts in their fields, and we are currently rated as the top history department in Scotland for the proportion of world-class and internationally excellent research (in the RAE 2008 national rankings).


You will be joining a dynamic and friendly environment, and we offer a broad training which will benefit you in your later career.


employability


A history degree is an extremely valuable qualification. It provides a solid foundation in analytical and communication skills, both highly sought after by employers.


The history programme at Dundee is designed to produce confident, intellectually-engaged graduates who can think creatively and independently, ask incisive questions, articulate their ideas, and solve complex problems.


Our recent graduates have gone into the media, teaching, politics, business, finance, the diplomatic service, and many other dynamic high-earning careers. Some graduates have continued their studies with us at postgraduate level, studying one of a range of MLitt Humanities programmes on offer and progressing to PhD level.


teaching and assessment


From the very start, you will be analysing various kinds of historical evidence, including written and oral material, maps and visual images. You will benefit from our close links with the University’s Archives, Records Management and Museum Services and you will be able to examine many original historical sources first-hand. You will also learn about historical debates and how to form your own judgements about complex problems.


As you progress through the different stages of your studies we will help you to master a variety of other key skills, including palaeography (reading old handwriting), database analysis, and team work. We will also assist you in developing your skills in source analysis as you look closely at a wider range of sources used by historians, including correspondence, photographs, feature films, architecture, art and music. In your final year, you will have an opportunity to apply these skills by writing a dissertation on a topic of your own choice.
