LECTURES AND CLASSES
The list of Lectures and Classes is divided into sections for the Preliminary Examination (Sections 1 to 4), Final
Honour School (Sections 5 to 10), and Postgraduate Courses and Seminars (Sections 11 to 13). The sections
designed for undergraduate courses include general headings, History of the British Isles (Sections 1 and 5),

Historiography, Foreign Texts and Quantification (Section 4), Further Subjects (Section 7), Special Subjects
(Section 8), Disciplines of History and Political Thought (Section 9), and The Compulsory Thesis (Section 10).
Courses specifically designed for Optional, Further and Special Subjects are numbered (OS1, FS1, SS1, etc.), and

lectures are entered under more than one heading, while others not so entered may none the less be relevant to
more than one subject in the Preliminary Examination or the Final Honour School. Undergraduates and graduates
are recommended to read through all sections of the list and not to focus narrowly on those specifically
designated for particular options in examinations. Attention is also drawn to the General Scheme of Lectures
which students are advised to use to plan their lecture attendance throughout the year. Lectures relevant to
History courses may also appear on other faculties’ lecture lists, which can be found on the University web site at

themselves for each session in the same way as those who take the class as part of their taught programme.
Students on taught courses are advised that offerings listed in the ‘research seminars’ section may be relevant to
their course of study, particularly the ‘core’ seminars in the subject area of their intended course dissertation.
