Programme specification:
- The distinctiveness, appeal and strength of University of Leeds Joint Honours programmes lie in the unusual combination of depth, breadth and flexibility which they offer, as well as in the exceptional range of degree combinations available;
- They permit students to study two disciplines, in depth and to degree level while acquiring a broader range of skills than is typically possible within a single honours degree;
- They are emphatically joint honours programmes, rather than integrated programmes: students can therefore make the links they choose from the wide choice of optional modules available within each discipline. Within certain parameters, they thus effectively make connections and devise pathways according to their own preferences, rather than being faced with a prescribed combination of modules chosen for them by others.
- The students must acquire the flexibility of mind and variety of learning techniques needed to switch between the two disciplines.
- A further element of distinctiveness is the flexibility of the programme structure, which allows joint honours students to change direction more easily, and more radically, than single honours students.
- Many of these programmes also allow the opportunity to undertake a work placement, field work or study abroad.
- The study of another language and its cultural context(s) offers students a broader perspective on their study of History, enabling them to take a more critical and objective stance about different historical analyses. They will also gain sophisticated reception and production skills in a major world language.
Aims of the Programme:
Research Skills:
1. Develop students' independent research and project management skills so they are able to undertake, with supervision, an autonomous piece of sustained research work (the Final-Year Project).
2. Develop advanced presentation skills in oral and written modes.
3. Develop analytical, critical thinking and reasoning skills.
4. Act with academic integrity and develop awareness of research ethics appropriate for the field(s) of study.
Language Skills and Intercultural Awareness:
1. Develop advanced language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
2. Develop an understanding of the vocabulary, grammar and registers of the language(s) studied.
3. Develop an understanding of the ways in which cultures interact.
4. Equip students to work and function effectively in another country.
Subject Knowledge:
1. Develop a general knowledge of the societies in which the target language is spoken.
2. Develop in-depth knowledge of aspects of literatures, cultures, linguistic contexts, history, politics, social and economic structures.
3. Equip students with the knowledge needed for a critical understanding of the field(s) of study.
4. Give students a coherent understanding and subject knowledge and professional competencies some of which will be informed by recent research/scholarship in History
5. Introduce students to, and support them in deploying accurately, standard techniques of analysis and enquiry within History
6. Require students to demonstrate a conceptual understanding which enables the development and sustaining of an argument
7. Require students to describe and comment on particular aspects of recent research and/or scholarship in History
8. Develop in students an appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity and limitations of knowledge in History
9. Require students to apply their knowledge and understanding of History by initiating and carrying out an extended piece of work or project
