Programme structure

In Year 1, students are introduced to history, both chronologically and geographically, and explore a variety of historical periods and cultures from Britain and around the globe, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas. It explores the nature of history as a discipline, its changing assumptions, methods and definitions and the current concerns of historians.

Study focuses on research skills and knowledge that forms the basis of more specialised study in Years 2 and 3. This includes learning how to use original documents to carry out research. Students choose from a range of optional modules in Years 2 and 3, from Theme Studies, Depth Studies, Civilisation Studies and Comparative Studies.

Theme Studies explore continuity and change over a long period of time with reference to a significant historical theme. Civilisation Studies focus on a civilisation’s chronological, geographical and cultural context, and its political, economic and social systems are outlined.

An understanding of methodology is developed by Depth Studies, which establish a comprehensive knowledge of a particular period by evaluating the use of primary and secondary sources and any issues associated with them as evidence. An area of historical concern across more than one country and culture is examined by Comparative Studies.
