The Department is committed both to research and publication, and to innovation in the teaching and learning of History. Two A levels or equivalent are required. A pass in History is not essential, but the course demands are such that comparable experience is desirable. Flexible Learning Courses are designed to be flexible and allow each individual student to take more or less time to achieve the award they seek. You may wish to progress from a Certificate to a Diploma or a Master's, and all courses have the inbuilt flexibility to allow this.
All courses are modular and part-time.
Teaching occurs in twilight or evening sessions, and occasional Saturday study days. You will attend a series of lectures, seminars and presentations for each module. A standard module lasts an average of 10 weeks, with lectures, seminars, tutorials and independent study of approximately five weeks for completion of assignments. Newman graduates are entitled to study one module free of charge. Entry Requirements Normally a good second class degree.
