Subjects offered
The following subjects will be offered at third-year level in 1997.
Where the same subject is also offered at second year, the syllabus for the
third-year subject will be the same in each case as for the corresponding
second-year level subject, except that in third year students will be required
to undertake work of a different and more advanced kind. To achieve a history
major students are required to complete successfully at least forty points of
history at second and third-year levels, with at least two eight-point subjects
at second year and three eight-point subjects at third year. As part of their
third-year study students are strongly encouraged to take either HSY3060 (Uses
of the past) or HSY3080 (Reading history), subjects designed to link reflection
on the purposes of history with the application of historical skills in the
public domain.
It is required that students contemplating honours enrol in HSY3060 (Uses of
the past) or HSY3080 (Reading history) which will prepare them for fourth-year
study.
