About this course

This is an `introductory` course and does not assume any previous study or reading although you will need a good grasp of English to keep up with the course. As with most of our history and current affairs courses, an open mind and a willingness to listen to and think about views with which you do not always agree are more important than specific levels of skills. You will gain more from the course, in terms of enjoyment and learning, if you are able and willing to do some supplementary reading.

Tutor inputs, class discussion, handouts, etc.
