YEAR 2-4 COURSES
In their second to fourth years students may take all their courses in history, or they may combine some history courses with courses from the departments and programmes in the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Social Sciences. Different modes of learning are reflected in the structuring of the History curriculum into ‘Survey’ and ‘Seminar’ courses.
Survey Courses
Survey courses are intended to introduce the history of a geographical area or a specific period.
Seminar Courses
Seminar courses involve more advanced study of special topics in history and a higher level of training in the use of primary documents or historiography.
