Modules

This degree has three stages. In Stage 1 you will encounter a variety of different times and places and engage with some fascinating people, art works, ideas and stories. This broad foundation will help you develop the skills and the confident, open approach you need to tackle more specialist modules at Stages 2 and 3. At Stage 2, you can either discover how historians seek to understand change and continuity within Europe from 1500 to 1780, or learn about the British Isles in a period of rapid transformation, when it was the workshop of the world. You can study both of these modules or choose a second module from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules. At Stage 3, you’ll choose between three history modules. You can explore the impact that the empires and resistance to them has had on the development of the modern world over the last five centuries. The second option covers the political, economic, social, medical and cultural history of twentieth-century Europe. The third option is to focus on the history of Wales from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. You can study two of these modules or choose a second module from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules.
