我们特别重视本科生研究。在布里斯托尔大学，学生通过混合核心单元和多种主要的基于源的可选单元来“做”历史和阅读历史。每年您将进行一项重大的独立研究，最后完成最后一年的论文。在第一年中，您将学习中世纪，近代和近代历史，探索您可能不会在A级上遇到的关键主题。之后，您可以从学位课程中选择属于自己的方向，并从各种主题和研究型单元中进行选择。近年来的主题包括：科学与超自然现象，自1945年以来的NGO和人道主义，近代早期英格兰，六十年代美国及其后果的饮酒与疾病。<br> 3年制课程，全日制可选基础年
At Bristol you will become part of our community of historians. As well as reading history, you will do history through a mix of broad survey units, specialist option units, and independent research projects. As a large department we are able to offer a broad-ranging and diverse curriculum. With a large number of optional units at every level, we encourage our students to find and pursue their own passions. Original research inspires all our teaching and the degree programme culminates with students producing a substantial final-year dissertation on a topic of their choice.Across your degree you will be introduced to major themes in medieval, early modern and modern history. Our department includes historians of Britain and Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and even Antarctica. Small-group seminars are embedded at every stage of the degree to encourage deep analysis and debate around key sources, themes, and questions. Students will also attend lectures, workshops, and tutorials, where they can draw upon the rich expertise of our academic staff.In recent years, first year optional topics have included:SlaveryModern RevolutionsGender in the Modern WorldTwentieth-century AmericaWar and Society.Whether you are interested in cultural history or political history, the very recent past or the pre-modern world, you will be able to explore the topics that inspire you and fire your imagination.
