Our exciting range of modules reflect this – we use the social, political and environmental challenges of the contemporary world as a starting point for our approach to exploring the past, enabling you to deepen your understanding of the past and to prepare you to navigate the rapidly-changing present. You’ll study under active researchers and authors whose professional expertise encompasses the histories of five continents across a span of 3,000 years, from the Iron Age to the present day. Your modules will balance the thrill of fresh discoveries with looking at familiar topics in new, eye-opening ways.

We aim to equip you for the workplace and enable you to create a brighter future for yourself and the world we live in, fuelled by your passion for history. Our assessments will unlock your creativity, allowing you to gain the skills you will need no matter what path you take after graduation. You’ll be encouraged to express your ideas in a variety of ways, to analyse sources of historical information from newspapers to computer games, and develop and present your own ideas through channels such as podcasts or online exhibitions.

Our extensive network of partnerships will give you opportunities to gain skills and experience. There’ll be opportunities to work with local museums, archives and galleries, including the University’s own art collection.

The historic city of Hull has world-class resources, from the Wilberforce Institute to the Hull History Centre in the ‘old town’ to our refurbished Brynmor Jones Library – housing cutting edge digital resources, along with more than a million books and plenty of private and social workspaces.

History

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.

History

BA History Year 1 modules

CompulsoryHistory of FreedomWhat does it mean to be free and how has the answer to this question changed over time? In ancient and medieval times, there were degrees of unfreedom for all. In the age of empire, race determined who could be enslaved.

Revolutions: Continuity and ChangeBefore the great revolutions in America, France, Haiti and Russia, global history experienced sweeping changes in society, ideas and technology. This module will widen your perspective on ‘revolutions’ from ancient times to the present.

History in the NewsEvery headline has a history. You will help to shape the course by identifying some of the most pressing and interesting issues of the world today. The decision as to what we should explore together lies in your hands.

All Roads Lead from Rome: the Classical PresentNo matter how modern we think we are, we’re still shaped by the classical past. Using artworks, archaeology and artefacts, this module will explore how the classical world provided a blueprint for the projection of power through imagery and architecture.

History at Hull addresses the most pressing global challenges by studying the stories of five continents and the vast maritime spaces in between. With such a broad curriculum, you’re certain to find what you’re looking for here. Under the guidance of expert academics – and benefiting from facilities like the Hull History Centre – you’ll discover the drama of the past and how it continues to shape the present.

Human WorldsHow have humans shaped their environment, and how has the environment shaped them in return? How has the availability of resources encouraged migration and movement, for example on the trade routes of the Silk Road? How have cities like Paris and St Petersburg grown?

World War TudorsWhat idea of Britain is conveyed when TV programmes and computer games focus on a narrow range of stories like Boudicca’s fight against Rome, Henry VIII’s wives or the Battle of Britain? What gets left out of British history in these simplified versions of the past?

Year 2 modules

CompulsoryGlobal Britain and its PastDevelop specialist skills such as using technology to map time and space, visual literacy, or oral history interviewing whilst learning about the expansion of the English across the British Isles and then across the world as an empire was built.

History: Then and NowThis module explores how historians shape and debate the past. We will consider questions of objectivity, facts, bias, distortion, as well as the need for historians to return to the past and consider it from points of view that are relevant to the present.

History Group ProjectUsing all of the skills you’ve developed through the programme to date to create a piece of public-facing history.

You’ll have the freedom to choose the historical topic and the means by which you present it – a podcast, a website, or another effective tool.

OptionalThe First SuperpowersThe ancient and modern world was formed by superpowers, from the Qin Dynasty of ancient China, to the equestrian empires of the Lakota and Comanche, to the Holy Roman and Ottoman empires that shaped history at the centre and edges of an expanding Europe.

Three Sixties: Decades that Changed the WorldTracing how themes such as war & technology, ideas & rights, and culture & morality changed in three different decades: the 1760s, the 1860s and the 1960s. This module will enable us to reflect on the interconnectedness of these ideas and their spread around the globe.

Trends and TreasuresLooking at trends, fashion and the material remains of the past as a barometer of taste, popularity, and consumerism allows us to explore ways in which these have been shaped by complex networks of trade and exchange that connect local and national histories with wider global forces.

Interactions and Exchanges: The Roots of GlobalisationFocusing on the period of the Columbian Exchange (1492), the emergence of global empires in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the present-day ‘global village’, the module will examine the


History

movement and flow of people, things, and ideas, and the disruptive effects of war and environmental change.

Shamans, Priests and WitchesPeople have often looked to the gods to explain the world around them, and magic and the devil are often invoked at times of strife and trouble. How have religion and ritual developed and how have people understood the world around them?

History at HomeThe spaces we inhabit often reflect our own position within society and are own cultural taste. We will study how the household unit has changed, how material culture of homes can help us identify the use of the space, and look at the changing pattern of daily life.

Come Dine with us: A History of Food and DrinkWe are what we eat, and the past has delivered a range of culinary delights: the fish paste of the Romans, Muktuk of the people of the Artic, to the Toast sandwich of Mrs Beeton. Food and drink are important for understanding broader social and cultural attitudes during the past.

Being HumanHow do modern concerns such as ‘family,’ ‘gender,’ ‘sexuality,’ and ‘childhood’ refer back to the way earlier identities were explained and constructed? How different to us were people in the past? These questions go to the heart of what it is to be both human and an individual.

Year 3 modules

CompulsoryCapstone ProjectFollow your passion for a particular topic, develop and research your project throughout the year, and then present it as you choose. It might be a traditional dissertation or you might channel your scholarship into perhaps a documentary or an exhibition as a way of conveying your findings.

Co-produced moduleOur programme is shaped by an ethos of students and staff working in partnership and enabling students to pursue their interests. This module is the ultimate example of that approach, and it will be designed from scratch and run by students and staff together.

The Past in the PresentDrawing together the rich and diverse threads of the programme, we will consider how the study of history and heritage can contribute to social justice, the fairer distribution of rights, wealth, and resources, and environmental and political challenges.

OptionalFame and FortuneThose who become famous and celebrated reflect a society’s values. From ancient heroes, medieval martyrs and imperial adventurers, to the actors, adulterers, rulers and criminals who became well known in the era of a free press: their notoriety is worth our scrutiny.

Insiders and Outsiders: Community and Belonging in HistoryWho belongs? In ancient societies, most people were excluded from power, participation, and opportunity –they were ‘outsiders’. Over time, or so the story goes, societies have worked to ensure the inclusion of outsiders, whether through voting rights, civil rights, or access to educational and career opportunities.

New Frontiers: Small Steps and Giant Leaps in HistoryHumans have always applied their curiosity to the world around them, inventing, exploring, building, and reshaping themselves and their environments. In some instances, this has resulted in profoundly creative advances, and in others it has unleashed processes of disruption and destruction.

Fear and TerrorAre fear and terror the tools of the weak or of the strong? From Stalin in Russia to Pinochet in Chile, totalitarian regimes have used violence and state surveillance to rule. Terrorist groups used sporadic violence to effect change. Why did they choose this path and to what effect?

Justice and LawThis module seeks to examine the notion of justice and law both in a national, international and global perspective reaching back over 2000 years. How can a historical perspective help us understand assumptions about a free trial and social justice.

Innovation and InventionWhat have been the major innovations and inventions in the past and where and how did they happen? What impact did the age of steam have on global networks, how has medicine improved the health of the world’s population and has the development of computers made humans redundant?


History

Hull is history For a city of moderate size, Hull’s had quite the influence on the country’s – even the world’s – history over the years.

There was the refusal to allow King Charles I entry to the city in 1642, which was one of the spark points for the English Civil War. The women of Hull’s fishing community, whose fervour and fury at the poor safety conditions their menfolk faced at sea rippled all the way to Westminster and brought about an act of Parliament. The 19th-century Eastern European emigrants – stopping off here while seeking passage to New York – who took a shine to Hull and ended up sticking around, enriching the city’s cosmopolitan feel. Amy Johnson, the woman from Hull who became a pilot and rewrote the record books, not to mention redrawing the gender landscape. And of course, William Wilberforce: the Hull MP who campaigned for more than 20 years to abolish the UK’s slave trade.

Whichever way you slice it, this is an historically relevant location. So you’ll have areas of interest – and the resources to research them – right on your doorstep. And if you prefer to do your digging more literally, then East Yorkshire's wealth of remains and historical towns and cities also mean you won’t find many better places to study archaeology than here.

“There’s such a deep history here in Hull … I don’t think people realise. There's a lot of history surrounding Hull, and this influences the modules you study. Once I realised that, I knew that I'd be in the ideal place for my course."

Holly Cockerham BA History (with Foundation Year)

“For over 700 years, Hull has been a key port in Britain: playing a key role in regional, national and

international life. Founded by a king, shaped by international commerce, it retains a strong cultural identity. Hull people have a tradition for standing up and making a difference. We continue to shape agendas that matter.”

Dr Nick Evans Lecturer in Diaspora History

BA History and Politics Year 1 modules

CompulsoryBritish Political History since 1945The UK’s political history after World War Two: from Eden to the EEC and from Wilson to the ‘Winter of Discontent’, encounter the people and policies that shaped modern Britain.

Introduction to International RelationsExplore the theories that have been developed to advance our knowledge of how global politics works, and the ways that the field of international relations is expanding today.

Philosophy, History and IdeologyLearn how to analyse the structure of contemporary political ideologies and assess the historical interrelations between key philosophical concepts and their political implications.

History of FreedomWhat does it mean to be free and how has the answer to this question changed over time? In ancient and medieval times, there was no expectation of individual freedom as we understand it today, rather there were degrees of ‘unfreedom’ such as slavery, serfdom, or vassalage. Later, in the age of empire, race determined who could be enslaved, and the slave trade’s legacies of racism persist into the present day: the civil rights movements and the struggle against apartheid are known as some of the most prominent recent fights for freedom. Nonetheless, the idea of

History and politics are a natural combination. Knowledge of the past helps us understand the present. And current politics provides insights into history. On this degree, you’ll study the progress of people, events and government through time. And you could get to see modern politics functioning first hand on a three-month internship at Westminster.

freedom has far broader connotations, and you will also have the flexibility to explore diverse issues such as religious, cultural or personal freedoms.

World War TudorsWhy are TV programmes so obsessed with certain episodes in British history such as the Tudors and the world wars? What idea of Britain is conveyed when we focus on a narrow range of stories like Boudicca’s fight against Rome, victory at Agincourt, Henry VIII’s wives or the Battle of Britain? What gets left out of British history in these simplified versions of the past? This module will invite you to critique popular culture, such as television documentaries or computer games, and to create different fresh ideas for how you think the public could engage with an aspect of the past that inspires you.

Human WorldsHow have humans shaped their environment, and how has the environment shaped them in return? These questions have controlled how and where we live. The availability of resources has encouraged migration and movement from the trade routes of the Silk Road across Asia to the imperial web of coaling stations that developed for the projection of naval power. How do cities grow – like St Petersburg, Delhi or Paris, built and rebuilt that has affected how generations of inhabitants later would live their lives?

Year 2

CompulsoryUnderstanding AmericaAn introduction to the political culture and institutions of the USA. You’ll consider America’s international role and the relationship between its domestic and international policies.

History Then and NowThis module explores how historians shape and debate the past. We will consider questions of objectivity, facts, bias, distortion, as well as the need for historians to return to the past and consider it from points of view that are relevant to the present.

OptionalBeing HumanWhat are the limits and boundaries of humanity? How do we define and explain human experience? How do modern concerns such as ‘family,’ ‘gender,’ ‘sexuality,’ and ‘childhood’ refer back to the way earlier identities were explained and constructed? How different to us were people in the past? These questions go to the heart of what it is to be both human and an individual.

History at HomeThe spaces we inhabit often reflect our own position within society and are own cultural taste. This module will explore how the idea of the home has changed over time from a mobile settlement to a wide range of spaces. We will study how the household unit has changed, how material culture of homes can help us identify the use of the space, and look at the daily life during key periods in the past.


History

Shamans, Priests and WitchesPeople have often looked to the gods to explain the world around them and magic and the devil are often invoked at times of strife and trouble. This module will look at how religion and ritual have developed in key areas of the globe and how people have understood the world around them.

Come Dine with us: Food and Drink through the agesWe are what we eat, and the past has delivered a range of culinary delights: the fish paste of the Romans, Muktuk of the people of the Artic, to the toast sandwich of Mrs Beeton. Food and drink are important for understanding broader social and cultural attitudes during the past.

Interactions and Exchanges: The Roots of GlobalisationThis module is about how people and societies have connected, communicated, clashed, exchanged and evolved over a long span of human history. Focussing on the period of the Columbian Exchange (1492), the emergence of global empires in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the present-day ‘global village’ the module will examine the connections between peoples, the movement and flow of people, things, and ideas, the disruptive effects of war and environmental change, and the connections between the local and the global.

Trends and TreasuresUsing the framework of ‘Treasures and Trends’ we seek to examine how and why different societies (at different points in time) value and classify visual and material remains of the past, often in order to negotiate and understand their contemporary relevance. Looking at trends and fashion as a barometer of taste, popularity, consumerism and acquisitiveness also allows us to explore ways in which these have been shaped by, and further gave shape to material and visual culture, often involving complex networks of trade and exchange that connect local and national histories with wider global forces.

British GovernmentIn the age of Brexit, who governs Britain? Discover the institutions of the British state, from Downing Street to the devolved assemblies, and from the Conservatives to Labour.

Understanding States and Markets: An Introduction to Political EconomyDiscover the history of ideas in political economy and their modern relevance. You’ll explore the work of Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek and Joseph Stiglitz.

Understanding the European UnionLearn about the history and politics of the European Union. You’ll consider its core policies, including the European Single Market, environmental policy and the implications of Brexit.

Understanding ChinaThis module examines the economic transformations of China in a historical, cultural and political context. You’ll evaluate the major issues and challenges facing the nation.

History of Political ThoughtYou’ll learn about the thoughts and historical context of some of the world’s most important philosophers and political theorists: Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli and Marx (among others)

The United Nations and Global SecurityThis module introduces you to the study of state interaction in the context of the world’s major inter-governmental security organisation: the United Nations.

Year 3 modules

Compulsory

You’ll choose one of the following three modules.Capstone Project (History) or Dissertation (Politics) or Semester in Westminster

OptionalInnovation and InventionWhat have been the major innovations and inventions in the past and where and how did they happen? What impact did the age of steam have on global networks, how has medicine improved the health of the world’s population and has the development of computers made humans redundant? We will examine how different areas of the global have contributed to innovations and inventions and look forward to inventions yet to come.

New Frontiers: Small Steps and Giant Leaps in HistoryThis module examines new frontiers: spaces where the old meets the new, and where we can see the operation of profound shifts in politics, society, technology and the environment. Humans have always applied their curiosity to the world around them, inventing, exploring, building, and reshaping themselves and their environments. In some instances, this has resulted in profoundly creative advances, and in others it has unleashed processes of disruption and destruction. In this module, you will explore past and present-day examples where humans have opened up new frontiers.

Fame and FortuneFame and Fortune allows final year students to critically and historically engage with that seemingly most modern concept, Celebrity. Benefitting from recent scholarly scrutiny that engages with a range of related inter-disciplinary approaches, students will be able to choose a historical figure and to assess how, when and why they have emerged as a celebrity, and to communicate their research digitally.

Justice and LawThis module seeks to examine the notion of justice and law both in a national, international and global perspective reaching back over 2000 years. How can a historical perspective help us understand assumptions about a free trial and social justice.


History

Insiders and Outsiders: Community and Belonging in HistoryFor the ancient Greeks, citizens ruled. But their notion of a citizen was exclusive: men ruled over women, children, slaves, animals and things. In ancient societies, most people were excluded from power, participation, markets, resources and opportunity – they were ‘outsiders’. Over time, or so the story goes, societies have worked to ensure the inclusion of outsiders, whether through voting rights, civil rights, access to educational and career opportunities. This module explores the ways in which groups, communities, and nations determine and decide: who belongs.

Fear and TerrorAre fear and terror the tools of the weak or of the strong? Totalitarian regimes from Stalin to Pinochet’s Chile have used extreme violence, secret police and state sponsored terrorism and assassination to assert their authority. Meanwhile, non-state actors, such as the IRA, Al-Qaeda and the ANC, relatively small in terms of number and weak in terms of infrastructure, have used campaigns of sporadic violence to effect change. Are they ever justified in doing so? Sometimes terror tactics have had important racial and ethnic dimensions as in the exercise of colonial power and in genocidal campaigns. In wartime, is the inducement of fear unavoidable or are atrocities deliberate? Are some acts beyond the pale, to be punished as war crimes? Can Truth and Reconciliation activities in the wake of such acts achieve their goals.

UK Politics in an Age of Austerity and BrexitExamine contemporary debates on economic, social and political renewal. You’ll cover topics such as Brexit, austerity, foreign policy and the future of the welfare state.

MindsStudy the relationship between ideas, the people who promote them, and political practice. From Plato to Machiavelli, explore just how influential and dangerous ideas can be.

BRICS: Emerging Powers in International AffairsDiscover challenges facing the five emerging powers (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in the shifting power structures of international affairs.

Conflicts in British CultureWho are the British? What do they believe in? Explore key cultural conflicts, such as free speech, gay marriage, feminism, transgenderism, Brexit, multiculturalism and abortion.

Critics of CapitalismStudy some of the most important critics of capitalist societies. You’ll explore issues such as capitalist oppression, exploitation and the corruption of music and art.

The Politics of the EnvironmentAnalyse attitudes towards the environment and the politics of the environmental movement, pressure groups, political parties, states, the EU and international organisations.

The Contemporary House of CommonsStudy the functions of the House of Commons and how they are shaped by the changes in the political environment. Examine what MPs do – collectively and individually.

Comparative LegislaturesExamine how legislatures fit within systems of government. You’ll explore the Westminster model, US Congress and the Brazilian, German, South African and Chinese parliaments.

Parliament in the UK: Approaches to ReformStudy Parliament in the context of constitutional change. You’ll explore electoral reform, pressure for a Bill of Rights, devolution, referendums and membership of the EU.

Democracy and Legitimacy in the European UnionThis module focuses on the theoretical and empirical context in which democracy and legitimacy have become existential challenges for the European Union.

Germany in the New EuropeThis module assesses the reunified Germany and its role in the new Europe. You’ll learn about Germany’s political parties, its government and its main policies.
