Programme specification:
The programme has a strong conceptual core, but with a unique and wide range of focused studies of particular historical processes and contexts. The programmes comprises two core modules: 'Concepts and debates in Social and Cultural history' which will provide a broad conceptual introduction to research shaped by these approaches in a wide range of geographical and chronological contexts and ‘Communicating History’ which will help you to understand how history is communicated, consumed and contested in the contemporary world.
In addition to the two core modules, students on the programme will choose two optional modules from an extensive number on offer. There are opportunities to pursue distinct routes through the course, including health histories and histories of identity. A 15,000-word research dissertation, closely supervised by a leading historian in their field, allows you to apply the knowledge and skills you have gained.
Taught by expert researchers within the School of History and across the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures, this course uses the latest approaches and thinking in social and cultural history to give you an insight into the lives of others.
