Prerequisite qualification: Normally a grade B in A level History or an equivalent qualification
in History.
Description: This module addresses important processes of change in the twentieth century through
a series of selected case-­‐studies, each introduced by a subject specialist. Each case-­‐study will be
thematically based and will allow for examples to be drawn from both Europe and the wider world.
The subjects included will draw from a range of methodologies within the History subject area and
may encompass themes such as national identity, population movement, revolutions and
decolonisation. These will provide a grounding for further study of both European and extra-­‐
European subjects at levels 2 and 3.

HST119 The Transformation of Britain, 1800 to the present
20 Credits SPRING
Prerequisite qualification: Normally a grade B in A level History or an equivalent qualification
in History.
Description: This module explores the central political, social, economic, cultural and diplomatic
developments that have transformed Britain since 1800. Unlike most of its European neighbours,
Britain did not experience dramatic moments of revolution, constitution-­‐building, invasion or
military defeat; indeed the idea of the nation’s progress through gradual evolution was central to
many versions of British identity. This course examines how, when and why change occurred in
Britain. Key themes include the transition to mass democracy; the impact of industrialisation; shifts
in social relationships based on class, gender and ethnicity; and the rise and fall of Britain as an
imperial power.

knowledge are used as a resource, and how information systems and strategies can be developed to
meet specific requirements. It involves understanding how organisations work and how effective
