Course Overview
The History part of the programme can offer a range of modules which cover broad sweeps of time (Medieval Europe, 1066-1452: Modern China, 1650-2000) allowing students to consider how societies alter and change, the long-term impact of war, economic upheaval and political radicalism, and the rise and fall of great powers. In addition the programme offers modules based upon depth, drilling down into events and moments of seminal change (the Great War, Genocide in C20th, the Wars of the Roses, the Irish Question). This combination is extensive and covers all interests and preferences. It combines breadth and depth, thus providing students with an extensive knowledge of the past. Around this core of subject knowledge we root our teaching in documentary source materials, field trips, visits to archives and record offices. Students will also be introduced to new areas of study by investigating how the past is captured, made and communicated through visits to archives or museums or analyses of film, TV and other media. This all provides for a fully rounded programme of study which grounds students in the requisite methodologies and practices of the discipline of history.
Theology students will be able to study of the major questions of life Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Why do bad things happen? - which are considered from the perspective of the Judeo-Christian traditions. This scheme will explore the sacred writings of Judaism and Christianity, as well as the teaching, practices and social impact of Christianity. Students will have the opportunity to study these religious traditions from historical and contemporary perspectives, building on staff specialism in biblical studies, church history, systematic theology, and religion in the modern world.
