Description
The Research Seminar involves students studying a particular topic in small seminar groups of no more than 15 students and some of the teaching may also be organised around independent study and one-to-one tutorials with the seminar leader, who will be a specialist in the area of study. The seminars focus on the examination of a specific set of source materials organised around a topic, and are designed to develop students’ capacity to work independently and to use primary and secondary sources in the construction of a historical argument, including writing and speaking for non-academic consumption ('public history'). Students then go on to identify a research topic they are passionate about within the broader subject area, ultimately producing a research essay and a public history piece for examination.
