ancient and medieval history and culture

Scrappychimow

Hi,

Would anyone recommend Ancient and Medieval History and Culture?

Portomarino

I'm doing it at the the moment.
Why I chose it? Thought I'd do something history-related in Trinity and was one IB point away from single honors history.

It's a really, really cool course if you're into, well, ancient and medieval history and culture.
So you'd be doing a bit of Rome, Greece and Medieval Europe and Ireland. Don't forget the culture bit, that's art history. First year is covering the basics, then you specialize.
It's an arts course so you have around 11 hours of lectures/seminars per week.
You'd be having modules between the classical, history and art history departments. All in the arts block, mind you.
Lecturers are for the most part good, the history department can be very disorganized at times though.
Socially, it is a small course, 15 people or so and it would probably get smaller. You'd want to get involved in societies. DU History and the Archeological and Classical societies are the more traditional socs for AMHC people. Also you'd probably get to know Ancient History and Archaeology people as they tend to share a lot of the same modules.
Jobs-wise it has the same issue as any other history course.
Hope this helps.

Both second and third year you can take a field trip module, usually somewhere like Florence.
Otherwise societies organize trips for Hilary term reading week.
