These optional modules are run by our historians based on their own research and specialisms, and build upon modules taught at levels one and two. The third year contains one compulsory Independent Study module that carries a double weighting and a further six optional modules chosen from around twenty modules. Please note that as a research intensive department, subjects may occasionally be unavailable where the relevant historian is on research leave. The second year contains two compulsory modules and a further six optional modules chosen from around twenty modules run by our historians based on their own research and specialisms. The range of options varies from year to year and may include American History, Chinese History, History of Art, Conservation, Classical Studies, or Philosophy. The remaining core modules focus on visual culture, gender, sexuality, and imperialism whilst students can choose one optional module in semester B. There are two survey modules which examine European history from the medieval period to the 20th Century. There are two skills modules that aim to develop the attributes necessary to tackle university-level work and that examine the historian's craft. The first year consists of eight modules which cover history from the ancient world through the medieval and early modern periods right up to the 21st Century. It also provides students with the opportunity to develop a broader set of skills that may prove useful beyond university. The first year provides students with the chance to develop a solid foundation of historical knowledge and introduces the historical skills required to undertake more advanced work later in the programme. The programme offers a variety of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of history including the use of film, literature, and visual and material culture, and staff specialisms include medieval studies, political history, media history, gender studies, the history of science, museum history, the history of art, film, and popular culture. Modules range chronologically from the period of the Roman Empire, through the medieval and early modern periods, to the twentieth century, and geographically from Britain to Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The History programme at Lincoln is distinctive in that it provides students with an opportunity to engage with a wide range of periods and cultures. The programme makes extensive use of specialist local resources including Lincoln's historic buildings, the Lincoln Cathedral archives, and the Collection. Home to a 1000-year-old cathedral, a medieval castle, and an original 1215 Magna Carta, Lincoln is a great city in which to study history. There is an emphasis on the critical examination and interpretation of primary source materials, which includes newspapers, probate documents, films, caricatures, novels, works of art, architecture, and oral testimony. Students of history have the opportunity to acquire skills of analysis, argument, and communication which can help them to develop as individuals, as responsible contributors to organisations, and as articulate, critical members of a democratic society.

These include British, European, Chinese, and American history, from the Roman Empire to the end of the 20th Century. History may be concerned with questions about the past, but the knowledge it reveals is relevant to how we think about ourselves and our place within society today.īA (Hons) History at Lincoln is distinctive in the breadth of topics that students can choose to study.
