Course Description
Are you fascinated by all periods of history? On this course, you will encounter an incredibly broad sweep of events including political, cultural and social change from ancient Greece and Rome to the present. Topics cover politics, empire, gender, slavery, warfare, religion, art and science. You will learn to connect approaches to these themes across the ancient, medieval and modern periods.
You will:
- develop perspectives and skills in historical enquiry and critical analysis
- study primary source material in detail, including written texts and material artefacts
- discover the challenges and rewards of taking a broader view of the classical world, together with wider historical perspectives.
The module combinations on offer allow you to take your studies beyond Europe, to regions including North Africa and Asia. As a joint honours student, you will benefit from skills development and assessment methods from both subjects. Each subject is taught separately, but you may choose a uniting theme for your final year dissertation.
