Syllabus
All joint degree syllabi can be found here.
History and Philosophy (V1V5)
This course will help you understand the importance of thinking critically about how we know and experience the world, and recognise the importance of linking precision in thought and analysis to a grounded understanding of different historical periods. You’ll learn to consider ideas for their own sake, while recognising that they are developed in particular contexts, for particular purposes, and reflect the conditions under which they are produced.

History and Sociology (VL13)

Joint degrees where History is not the home department
If you're studying a joint degree, where History is not your home department, it is important to understand where there may be differences in your home department's policies and processes.
For instance, your Personal Tutor will be based in your home department, and an application for mitigating circumstances will be reviewed by your home department, too.
However, extension requests will be reviewed by the department which has set the assignment, and responded to according to that department's policies.
If you have any questions about your joint degree course, please reach out to the relevant History Joint Degrees Coordinators.
