Modules

This degree has three stages, each comprising two modules. In Stage 1, you’ll encounter a variety of different times and places and engage with some fascinating people, artworks, ideas and stories. In Stage 2, you’ll explore the society and culture of Europe between 1500 and 1789, a time when society was transforming rapidly while remaining rooted in medieval times. You'll also learn about the British Isles from 1789 to 1914, when the United Kingdom experienced rapid industrial and imperial expansion, political conflict, poverty, and uncertainty. At Stage 3, we offer modules on empires and opposition to them from the fifteenth century to recent times, as well as on conflict and change in twentieth-century Europe. Alternatively, you can do an independent research project on an aspect of Welsh history of your choice. You can also study one module in art history, classical studies, religious studies or Scottish history.
