Second Year

In second year, students continue on one of these degree pathways:

1. Historical Studies
2. History, Politics and Philosophy
3. History (Joint-Honours)

For information on pathways, subjects and modules, please see the table at foot of this page. For greater detail on module choices in case you are taking Pathway 1 (History, Politics and Philosophy) or Pathway 2 (History and two ‘minors’) please consult this document on Essentials for Second Year BA History students: Essentials for new 2nd Yr BA History
