How you learn
Most teaching takes place within a group and takes the form of a mixture of tutor input, group and individual activities and student reflection.
You learn through:
- large-group lectures
- small-group seminars and workshops
- group work activities
You will have the opportunity to take a module in your second year that includes a work placement. This gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. Previous placements have included local primary and secondary schools, local museums such as Kelham Island Industrial Museum, other heritage organisations and local businesses.
Field trips
As well as learning history in the classroom through lectures and seminars, you also learn on field trips to places such as Manchester People's History Museum, the Museum of London and in the archives and in computer suites with access to a range of academic digital collections. The transferrable skills of the historian are highly valued by employers.
