History and Culture
Please note that the History and Culture Degree will discontinue after the October 2010 intake.
Welcome to the webpages for the History and Culture degrees. The History and Culture degrees are administered by the History Department, but allow students to take modules in a wide range of Arts departments and even in a Social Studies department (Philosophy). Below you will find information about the different streams, and the syllabi for each year. If you cannot find the information you need here, please contact the History Department.
The History and Culture degrees are intended to provide students a base within the History Department, and a solid grounding in the discipline of Historical Studies, but also access to a wide range of options provided across the faculty. The departments and schools involved are all very different, and their involvement with the History and Culture degrees are not the same. Some open up all their undergraduate modules to History and Culture students, others can only open a few. The following departments and schools all work together in providing this degree: History, Classics and Ancient History, English and Comparative Literary Studies, Film and Television Studies, French Studies, German, Italian, Comparative American Studies, Theatre, Performance and Cultural Policy Studies, History of Art and Philosophy.
The individual departmental webpages will provide you with more information about the academics who work in these departments, about the research they do, and about the ways in which the departments are organised. For specific information about the modules open to History and Culture students, and about the requirements for each year of study, please see below. The degree is intended to be flexible and creative, but there are some practical limitations to that flexibility.
