  • the Americas
  • Europe
  • Eurasia
  • British Isles

You can also combine this with other subjects from the School of History, Classics and Archaeology eg ancient history or archaeology. You also have the opportunity to combine related topics such as politics, English or a foreign language.

Delivery and teaching methods

Your teaching will be based at our Newcastle campus. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, some teaching may be carried out online.

The course is typically delivered through a combination of:

  • seminars
  • individual tutorials
  • small-group teaching

Module teaching runs Monday to Friday, during the day and term time only. Your tutors and other academic staff are normally available for consultation, and for dissertation supervision, during vacations.

If you plan to take this course part time, you will agree your module selection with the Degree Programme Director.
