These modules are taken from contributing departments: English , History , History of Art , Archaeology , School of Arts and Creative Technologies , Philosophy and Politics .

📋 项目参数

✨ 项目特色

Most of your modules will consist of weekly two-hour seminars. The research training module will be taught through three-hour workshops. You will normally work in small groups of fewer than 20 students.

You'll have access to a wealth of resources, including the York Minster Library , the Borthwick Institute for Archives , the National Centre for Early Music. Some of the UK's finest surviving early modern houses, including Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle, Haddon Hall and Burton Agnes, are also only a short distance away.

Teaching will be based on Campus West. CREMS and the wider interdisciplinary community of the Humanities Research Centre (including the Centres for Medieval Studies, Eighteenth Century Studies, and Modern Studies) are based in the beautiful Grade II listed Heslington Hall , a hub with space for events and student collaboration.

Our beautiful green campus offers a student-friendly setting in which to live and study, within easy reach of the action in the city centre. It's easy to get around campus - everything is within walking or pedalling distance, or you can always use the fast and frequent bus service.

You will submit an essay for each module of approximately 3,500-4,000 words. You'll also have the opportunity to submit formative essays, which do not count towards your final degree mark, but will give you valuable feedback for you to apply to your final assessed essays.

The research training module is assessed by a 1,500-word dissertation proposal, plus a 1,500-word annotated bibliography, on a pass/fail basis.
