History (Hons) University of Liverpool

Overview

You will start by exploring a broad range of historical periods, some of which may be less familiar, giving you a good basis for making choices later in the degree.

Key Features

• You will also experience a wide variety of approaches to history and are free to study aspects of the past that interest you the most. For instance, some modules focus on political history or the history of warfare. Others place the emphasis on social, cultural and gender history. You can also take modules on global history or ones that focus on national histories, whilst others will allow you to explore particular themes, such as slavery, human rights, medicine, religion, the environment or the Cold War.
• The History programme at University of Liverpool  is designed to move from breadth to depth; from directed to more independent learning; and foster the development of advanced research techniques over the three years.
