The Department of History offers a wide range of modules with a 'global' approach for students in their first, second and final year. The content of these modules not only goes beyond British and European History, but explores more than one part of the world, and pays attention to the ways in which these different parts of the world came into contact with each other in the past. Many of these modules are thematically organised, and offer students the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the different modes of global interaction. Recent and current 'global' modules include the following:
