Teaching
Teaching and learning
You'll receive approximately two hours of weekly contact time per module, typically comprising 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
Students are assessed by a combination of coursework and exams. Some modules are assessed by coursework only.
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.
Resources and facilities
The Schools offer excellent resources to aid your studies, including:
membership to the Queen Mary library, the University of London Library at Senate House, and reading access to other college libraries within the University of London
