Department of History

Lecture and Seminar Programme

 

Details of seminar groups, times, and locations can be found on Tabula. Please note that lecture notes/powerpoints will be made available from links on this page for each Wednesday lecture. They should help you as you explore topics and begin research for your papers -- but of course they are no substitute for attending the lectures themselves.
