Courses

The Department of History offers subjects in the history of Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States. Major sequences may be taken in European, Asian and Australian history or in a combination of these. First-year subjects introduce students to the methods of historical enquiry through a choice of ten subjects arranged in sequential pairs.

Students are advised to follow a sequence of related subjects, although it is possible to combine them in other ways. Students may enrol in from one to four first year subjects. All first-year subjects aim to develop not only a grasp of particular topics, but also an understanding of the methods and aims of the historical discipline.

No previous study of history is required for any first-year subject. In all subjects attendance at tutorials is compulsory and repeated absence without good reason may result in the student being failed. Attendance at lectures is strongly encouraged, but is not compulsory.
