Honours Level
At Honours Level modules taught by the History Department are assessed by a mixture of examination and assessment. Assessment essays give you an opportunity to study in depth an aspect of the module you are taking. At Honours Level you may continue to take modules from the later modern period described above but you will also take modules from the Medieval and Early Modern period.
Honours Level modules offered by other departments include a wide range of modules in Classics and History of Art, modules in Economics History (please contact the Economics department regarding suitable modules) and historical modules taught by Politics, Sociology, Centre for Lifelong Learning and Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL).
Level 5 and 6 Modules
Please refer to the History department website for the most current list of modules.If you are an evening student, the department normally offers two modules each year so that, in a full degree cycle, the majority of the department's most popular modules will be available to you. The compulsory core module, Making of the Modern World, is offered every third or fourth year.
A particular feature of the History degree is that when you have completed 120 credits at Honours Level, i.e. you are coming to the end of the degree, one or sometimes two Advanced Options are taken. An Advanced Option is a specialised module which provides an opportunity for you to develop interests in a subject which have already been stimulated by an earlier module. 'Daytime students may also take a Special Subject but are recommended to discuss this with the History part-time co-ordinator first.
