- develop perspectives and skills in historical enquiry and critical analysis

Modules
Our year-one core modules are designed as an introduction. We will build everyone's knowledge to the same level, so you can progress through to year two. You will take 120 credits of modules each year. In year one, in Ancient History, you will have an integrated introduction to the culture and history of Greece and Rome. In History, you will focus on history as a discipline, developing the skills required for researching, writing and debating. You will be able to choose 60 credits of ancient history and history modules spanning the ancient to the contemporary world. 40 credits may be used to start or continue to learn Ancient Greek or Latin. In year two, you will have 60 credits of optional Ancient History modules; the 'Extended Source Study' module prepares you for year three dissertation work. Most students also choose to take the 'Studying Classical Scholarship' module. You may also choose to begin or continue learning Latin or ancient Greek. You will also choose 60 credits of history modules - choices range from medieval, early modern, modern and contemporary history, dealing with particular countries or regions from around the world. In your final year, you will choose from two scenarios. In scenario 1, you can either take a 40-credit History Special Subject, and a History dissertation, with the remaining 40 credits in Ancient History. In scenario 2, You can take the 40-credit History Special Subject and a 20 credit history option, and 60 credits in Ancient History which can include a dissertation in Ancient History.
