The History Summer School offers scope for detailed study of specific historical topics, from Roman times to the present day. There is a marked emphasis on British history, but analysis of a wider European and global context plays an important part in the programme.The academic programme
- Plenary lecture course LM0: War and Peace
- Four special subject courses (two for each week)
- Evening lectures Plenary lectures and evening talks
Each year, eminent historians from this University and beyond are invited to contribute plenary lectures related to a chosen theme. The theme of this year's morning plenary lectures is War and Peace. Collectively, the speakers explore this theme throughout history and across continents. The talks are designed to extend your knowledge into areas not covered by the special subject courses, and will develop your knowledge and understanding of many historical figures and broader areas of history.Special subject coursesMuch of the teaching is given in special subject classes, led by members of the University's Faculty of History and visiting academics.
The core of your programme will be your chosen special subject courses, each of which meets five times.The format of the programme allows a wide choice of subject area: you may wish to attend courses which most obviously complement one another or you may opt to make a selection which covers the broadest historical period possible.
