Overview
Course Learning and Teaching
Formal academic contact will include a combination of lectures, seminars, and tutorials. Lectures introduce broad historical questions and offer contextualisation and critical commentary; seminars provide an opportunity for you to develop your critical skills through discussion for which you would have prepared in advance. The balance between these activities will change over the course of the Ancient, Medieval and Modern History programme offered by Durham University as you develop your knowledge and abilities as an independent learner.
Timetabled contact is only the beginning of your learning. It provides a starting-point for your development as an independent, self-motivated learner. Resource packages and reading lists will be provided to guide your independent learning.
Throughout the Ancient, Medieval and Modern History BA course offered by Durham University you will also benefit from the ready accessibility of staff. All module coordinators advertise their formal ‘office hours’ so that you can arrange one-to-one meetings to discuss particular issues. This un-timetabled contact often focuses on a specific issue of analysis or argument and gives students a strong sense of personal engagement with learning. In addition to this, you will be allocated an academic adviser with whom you will discuss your module choices within the context of your interests and aims (academic and personal).
You will be encouraged to attend the extensive programme of research-related activities in both departments, including the research seminar series, public lectures from high-profile guest speakers, and events organised by the student-run History Society and Classics Societies. In addition to this, you will be invited to attend regular events organised jointly by the department and the Careers, Employability, and Enterprise Centre.
