Useful in itself, the Honours degree (specialising in History) also provides a vital link between the undergraduate programme and the specialised Master’s programme. For an Honours degree in Historical Studies the minimum requirement is a Bachelor’s degree with a Major in History or Economic History or in a cognate discipline. Honours at the Department of Historical Studies is a one-year programme in which the students are required to successfully complete four taught courses and a research essay. Of the four taught courses one is compulsory and the remaining three courses may be selected from a range of available electives.

For additional guidance on and further information about the Honours Programme, interested students are advised to contact Associate Professor Sean Field, the convenor of the programme.
