Overview

Offering a flexible approach to study, this History (Distance Learning) course at Northumbria University incorporates five core modules which mix conventional historical study with training in research methods and the close consideration of the big interpretative questions animating the study of history today.

A particular strength of the course is the way in which it familiarises students with digital history projects and contemporary debates. In addition to the taught modules you will also complete a dissertation under the supervision of one of our specialist historians.

Throughout your studies you will have access to our leading learning facilities and you will be welcome at academic events and seminars hosted by the new Institute of the Humanities. This includes the fortnightly History Research Seminar, where we welcome historians from throughout the world to introduce us to their latest research.
