Develop your love of history further, gaining the skills to research, write and debate. You will study periods from the early medieval to the present, from countries and regions around the world.
Each module is based on the latest research of your tutors. You will relate historical thinking to the topical issues of today. Your topic choice is extensive, including conflict, politics, the environment, social attitudes, consumerism, gender and identity.
Wide reading and work with historical sources will develop your ability to think critically, debate issues and make informed decisions. Studying history will help you understand society, culture, politics and economic life.
Course Details - Modules
In each year you will study 120 credits of modules. In year one, you will study one 20-credit core module, four 20-credit optional modules, and choose one 20-credit module from another department. For example, this could be from Archaeology, or Film and Television Studies. Alternatively, you could study a language for credits through our Language Centre.
In year two, you will choose either five or six 20-credit optional modules from History. Choices range from medieval, early modern, modern and contemporary history, dealing with particular countries or regions from around the world. If you only choose five optional modules, you can make up the remaining 20 credits by taking a module from another department. Again, this could be from Archaeology, or Film and Television Studies. Alternatively, you could study a language for credits through our Language Centre.
In your final year, you will take a Special Subject module, which focuses on a specialised area of history and develops your analysis of primary sources. You will also complete a 10,000-12,000 word dissertation based on a research project of your choice. You then choose two optional History modules (worth 20-credits each).
Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the Department of History, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award. You can also spend time overseas through the University of Nottingham Study Abroad programme.
