Teaching
Teaching and learning
For each module you’ll have two hours of weekly contact time, usually in the form of a one-hour lecture followed by a one-hour seminar.
Formal teaching is supplemented by one-to-one discussions in staff office hours and feedback sessions.
For every hour spent in class, you'll complete a further two to three hours of independent study. This time is spent reading, preparing for study sessions, working on projects and revising for exams.
Assessment
Assessment typically involves a combination of examinations and coursework, or coursework only. Coursework may include essays, diaries, case-studies and oral presentations.
In your final year you’ll work on a dissertation worth 25% of your final year mark, researching a specialised area of history that particularly interests you.

membership of the Queen Mary Library, the University of London Library at Senate House, and reading access to other college libraries within the University of London
