topics in new, eye-opening ways.
For more information, please visit www.hull.ac.uk/ughistory
You can follow your interests in the histories of society, culture, art, power, gender
and war in Britain, Europe and the wider world. Distinctive flavours on our degrees
include maritime history, environmental history and the histories of indigenous
peoples.
You’ll study under active researchers and authors whose professional historical
expertise informs the modules they teach, and whose passion and approachability
makes for a brilliant learning environment.
There’ll be opportunities to work with local museums, archives and galleries
(including curation of the University’s own gallery space), while the students’ union
has clubs and societies based on historical re-enactment. You could also opt to get
trained as a guide on walking tours of historic Hull (see page 34 for more about the
city’s role in history).
You’ll benefit from the resources of a city that’s steeped in history – with access to
the Hull History Centre, the Blaydes Maritime Centre and the Wilberforce Institute.
And of course there’s our refurbished Brynmor Jones Library – open 24/7 during
term time and housing more than a million books, journals and periodicals.
We’re always looking to improve our courses. Which means we do review our modules from time to time,
to make sure they’re of a high standard and are relevant to you and to your potential future employers. The
information in this guide is correct at the time of going to print, but some of the modules you can choose to
study could change still before 2020. Please contact our admissions team if you do have any questions or for

Course structure How are degrees taught? Most of our undergraduate courses are made up of study units called modules. You’ll be assessed after each module, and the average of all your module assessments for the year is your overall result for that year. Can I pick and choose modules? Yes, to an extent. Some modules are compulsory, so you have to take them. Within that compulsory group are some ‘core’ modules, too. They’re essential to the course (to make sure our degrees qualify for relevant accreditation, for example), so they’ll never change and you have to pass them. That said, some of our modules are optional – so you can pick what you study to suit your interests and career goals. How many modules will I take? Usually, you’ll take six modules a year: three from the start of term to Christmas, and three more between January and the summer. Later in your course, some modules – like larger-scale projects or a dissertation – might count as two modules and run for the full year. 6 | HULL.AC.UK UNDERGRADUATE COURSE GUIDE 2020 | 7
