Course summary

This course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the crucial importance of history through the ages. It will show how history has differed across political and cultural eras. You will develop your knowledge of both British and World History across a wide range of timescales. The course will allow you to see how Britain and the world have developed, and how the present world is actually a product of the past. You will investigate how history has been written, as well as develop key skills such as essay writing, research, data collection, analysis, and how to develop and sustain an argument through the use of evidence. You will explore the Making of Modern Britain by studying the key political, economic, social and international events which helped to mould Britain in the second half of the 20th century. You will also study a module which charts the rise of the USA after the Civil War to its present status as a world superpower. Throughout the course, politics, religion, and philosophy will all be covered.
