LECTURES AND CLASSES

The list of Lectures and Classes is divided into sections for The Preliminary Examination (Sections 1 to 4),
Final Honour School (Sections 5 to 10), and Postgraduate Courses and Seminars (Sections 11 to 13). The
sections designed for undergraduate courses include general headings, History of the British Isles (Sections 1
and 5), General History (Sections 2 and 6), and specific headings, Optional Subjects (Section 3), Approaches,
Historiography, Foreign Texts and Quantification (Section 4), Further Subjects (Section 7), Special Subjects
(Section 8), Disciplines of History and Political Thought (Section 9) and the Compulsory Thesis (Section 10).
Courses specifically designed for Optional, Further and Special Subjects are numbered (OS1, FS1, SS1, etc.),
and these numbers may be added to other courses suitable for though not specific to these papers. Some courses
of lectures are entered under more than one heading, while others not so entered may none the less be relevant to
more than one subject in Honour Moderations or the Final Honour School. Undergraduates and graduates are
recommended to read through all sections of the list and not to focus narrowly on those specifically designated
for particular options in examinations. Lectures relevant to History courses may also appear on other faculties’
lecture lists, which can be found on the University website.
