Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me/give me some advice with choosing my major within the history department. I want to study both Medieval and Modern History (what a misfortune that my area of interest is on the fault line between these two periods), and I was wondering if someone who knows more about the department and requirements, or someone else in the same dilemma, could give me some pointers.
I take it that it is not possible for me to pursue a joint honours degree in Medieval and Modern History. Is that right? A similar option to that is the more broad general History Degree. Is this a good path to take if I don't have much interest in Scottish or Ancient history? And will this major allow me to specialize much?
My final question is about the Medieval Studies program. What are the typical modules taken by people in that major?
Sorry if this is too many questions. I would appreciate answers to any of them, or just general advice. Thanks.
