HONOURS DEGREE B. SCHOOL OF HISTORY
( For possible combinations with this school see p. 251)
Note: Students who have entered the course before 1968 should
see
the Details in the Faculty of Arts Handbook, 1967, pp. 122-5; but they will be allowed to benefit from the freer choice of subjects permitted in the present Details. Both such students and students enrolling in 1968 should plan their degree courses in consultation with a member of the academic staff of the Department of History. An appointment for this purpose should be made at the departmental office. For con- venience the subjects of thе Honour School are set out as periods of history, but they are taught with primary attention to the major problems arising in each subject.Students will be advised about the different emphases and characters of the various subjects. They should in any case read the section on the School of History in the
Guide to Arts
which is available from the Faculty of Arts office.1. The course for the degree with honours in the School of History comprises the following subjects:
(a) Two of Ancient History British History i one taken at Honours level. of which must be European History A
Four of Honours History A (Ancient History)
Honours History B (Medieval European History) Honours History C (Later Medieval and Early Modern
European History)
Honours History D (Modern European History)
Honours History E (Modem British History) (A prerequisite (b)
HISTORY
for Honours F unless special permission given. )
Hõnours History F ( Australian History) ( Honours History E a prerequisite, unless special permission given. )
Honours History G (American History) I-Ionours History H (Far Eastern History) Honours History J ( Historiography )
(c) Special Study ( normally advanced work in field of history already studied at pass or honours level).
(d) Theory and Method of History.
(e) A Thesis of 8,000-9,000 words on an approved subject. (A short course of classes on Methods of Historical Research will be provided at tbe commencement of work on the thesis is order to assist students in choosing thesis subjects and in organizing their research. )
(f) An approved foreign language, normally to be Part I of a language course within the Faculty of Arts. Since the primary purpose of this language study is to prepare students to read historical works in a foreign language, university language courses other than Part I may be approved on application to the Professor in charge.
(Note: Attendance at Summer Schools of language does got satisfy the language requirement, although such courses are highly recommended to students of History.
In first planning their degree courses, students should seek advice from a member of staff about the language or languages most helpful for their particular interests in History.]
(gg) Three additional subjects selected from the subjects of the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Ordinary degree. These subjects should normally comprise a major in subjects offered by a Department of the Faculty of Arts other than the Department of History. The following variations of this requirement are allowed:
(i) In certain circumstances the Professor in Charge will allow the third pass subject to be an additional foreign language or an approved pass History subject;
(ii) In place of the requirement of one language subject and three additional pass subjects, the Professor in Charge will allow two sub-majors in language, i.e.
Parts I and II of two language courses.
2. Subject to the possible variations mentioned above, the subjects of the course must be taken in the following order, unless the Professor in Charge of the Depart- ment gives special permission for the order to be varied.
First Year:
(a) Two of British History, European History A and Ancient History. Students must enrol for Honours in one of the above subjects, and will be expected to achieve a Pass with Merit in the other subject chosen.
(b) The first part of an approved major (pass).
(c) Part I of a language other than English.
Second Year:
(a) Two of Honours History A, B, D and E. (E is a prerequisite for F unless special permission given.)
(b) Second Pass subject.
Third Year:
(a) Two of Honours History C, D, F (E is a pre-requisite for F unless special permission given.), G, H and I.
(b) Third pass subject.
(c) Commencement of work on Final Honours Thesis, including attendance at short course of classes on Methods of Historical Research.
Fourth Year:
(a) Theory and Method of History.
(b) Special Study.
(c) Completion of Final Honours Thesis.
Note: (a) Students will be advised about their selection of subjects, and speci- men combinations of subjects in the Honours School will be posted on the Notice Board. Some variation in the choice or order of subjects may be allowed by the
123
FACULTY OF ABTS HANDBOOK
Professor in Charge, particularly when the temporary suspension of one or more of the subjects makes variation desirable.
(b) There will be no examination in connection with the Third-Year seminar on Methods of Historical Research which is planned to assist students in the prepara- tion of the thesis. But attendance at this seminar is required ( for one hour a week for approximately twelve weeks).
3. Examinations in Honours History subjects taken by students in the. Honours School of History will be conducted at the end of the students' First, Second and Fourth Years. Normally there will be no examination in such subjects at the end of the students' Third Year. Examinations in Pass subjects will be annual.
The examination in History at the end of the Fourth Year will be a Final Examination. The components of the fourth-year examination will be papers in each of the Honours History subjects taken in Third. Year, in the Special Study and in Theory and Method of History, together with a. Thesis of approximately 8,000-9,000 words on an approved subject. The result of the two Honours History papers written in the Second Year will also be incorporated into the general result of the Final Examination.
4. Towards the end of the Third Year, students will be asked to choose one of the subjects available for Special Study in the following year. As these studies will be based on previous work in the subject, students should keep the choice of Special Study in mind when planning the course.
5. Students are expected to take the first steps in selecting their thesis subjects during the Second Term of the Third Year, and will be required to do enough preliminary enquiry to enable them to define the limits of their subjects at the beginning of the Third Term. Members of the academic staff of the Department of History will discuss possible subjects in the course on Methods of Historical Research, and will be available for consultation at times which will be announced. It is expected that students will have defined their subjects sufficiently by the end of Third Term to be able to do substantial work on the thesis during the long vacation.
In cases in which the subject of the Final Honours Thesis is intimately connected with the Fourth-Year Special Study, certain variations in this pattern may be per- mitted, on the advice of the supervisor concerned, to allow for the spending of the Long. Vacation on general reading in the field of the Special Study and a later con- centration of work on the Thesis.
Failure to submit the Final Honours Thesis by the required date may dis- qualify a student from proceeding to the Final Examination.
Comments:
(a) Except with the permission of the Faculty, no candidate for honours in the School of History may sit for examination without completing, by the set dates, the written work prescribed and attending all tutorial classes in the subjects taken in the Honours School of History.
(b) Students who have completed their First Year must be approved by the Faculty of Arts as candidates for the degree with honours before entering the Second Year of the Honours School. The Department of History will normally recommend such approval for candidates who have gained first or second class honours in one of Ancient History, European History A and British History. Students are also expected to achieve Pass with Merit in the second History subject of the FIRST year, Candidates who have failed to gain first or second class honours in the Honours History subject, but who wish to continue in the Honours School should consult with the Professor in Charge, who will be guided in his recommendation by the merits of the case.
A student who has not attempted honours in these First-Year subjects, but who, at the end of his First Year wishes to enter the Honours School, must make special application to the Faculty through the Sub-Dean for permission to do so. If such permission is granted, the Faculty will prescribe what further work must be com- pleted before the student is allowed to proceed.
(c) Students who fail to gain first or second class honours in examinations in History at the end of the Second Year will usually be advised by the Department of History not to proceed to the Third Year of the Honours School, but rather to complete a course for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Ordinary degree.
(d) The Third and Fourth Years of the Honours School are regarded as forming a continuous whole. Candidates who, during their Third Year, have made satisfactory
