About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to: Knowledge of the 'long' fourteenth century gained through directed reading, lectures, and seminar discussions.
Awareness of different historical interpretations and the ability to judge between them gained through directed reading, lectures (which will often concentrate on explaining historical argument), and seminars which will debate and discuss controversial points). Feedback on essays will also foster awareness of different interpretations;
Basic study skills will be promoted through practice, advice in seminars, and feedback on essays. Students should also remember the advice on studying in the student handbook, and should feel free to approach seminar leaders, lecturers, or their personal tutor with any problems they are experiencing.
The ability to form historical arguments and to back them up with evidence promoted by experiencing such arguments in reading and lectures, by student practice in making contributions to seminars, and by feedback on essays
These wide ranging skills can be applied to a great variety of careers which means that history and archaeology graduates are faced with a broad spectrum of job opportunities, arising both directly from their studies, or as a foundation for careers in other fields for which a degree in history or archaeology is particularly useful. Examples include:
Archaeological units, archives and librarianship
Museums and heritage management
Researchers and writers for television, radio and film
Journalism and publishing
Teaching in primary, secondary and higher education
Law
Business and finance professions
