The scheme of study in Part 2 covers the whole of Greco-Roman antiquity from the earliest Aegean civilisation to the Byzantine empire. These integrated Honours schemes are designed to ensure that the School provides the widest possible range of choice among the basic historical and archaeological disciplines. In each case the modules, which have been selected from those available in the respective Honours schemes, have been so arranged that you can combine the study of two main areas within a coherent and unitary scheme. This new degree scheme brings together teaching expertise from Medieval History, Language and Literature, and Welsh. It is an opportunity to investigate the interdisciplinary perspective.
Appropriate modules are available from the listed departments.
This is a well-established combination of subjects which are generally recognised as complementing each other. They address similar material and problems, but from different intellectual standpoints, thereby enhancing both subjects. The importance of concepts and theory in history is brought out, and of the past in relation to the contemporary political world. There is a generous choice of optional modules on those historical and political themes which are central to an understanding of public life in the modern world. This degree is taught jointly with the School of European Studies.
