History, University of Birmingham

The university has a regional reputation so job prospects are regional too

History at UOB is bad value for money. I’m assuming history elsewhere is the same cause the contact hours are so low but we’re really out here paying about 40 quid for one lecture

Modern languages staff (Spanish) isn't helpful at all and the level of education is low. However, art history staff is very helpful and supportive, always provide as much information as possible, very responsible people. I enjoyed seminars during which we visited many museums and had a study trip to London. Modules are very engaging and there are great optional modules too.

Not many contact hours but great variety of topics to study

Excellent course and definitely value for money.

i did not do this course

Literally all about the middle ages and Islam, could find more info on wikipedia than my lectures. Only 6 hours a week.

Good solid course but barely any contact hours

Really enjoy doing history at UOB! Modules are generally well organised and interesting and lecturers very nice!

For me personally, the rating for course content is quite low. This is very subjective, however. I've very much enjoyed my course so far, and I am looking forward to taking a year studying abroad and using the University's immense resources to aid my dissertation.

Fine and good
