Department of History Module Choices Guidance BA History Final Year Timetable and key dates 18th February 4.00pm Module choices talk in K4U.12 From 22nd February Consult module descriptions on website (www.kcl.ac.uk/history/modules) and seek advice from your personal tutor and/or other members of staff. From 11th March Online module choice form goes live. 1st April Online module choice form closes. Early May You will receive confirmation of the modules on which you have been allocated a space. Overview You are expected to study a total tariff of 120 credits in your final year. All single-honours final-year students must take a Group 3 module and the associated dissertation totalling 60 credits (Section A), as well as a 30-credit Thematic Special Subject module (Section B). You must also either choose to write a 30credit Free-standing Long Essay or choose 30 credits at level 5/6 (Section C). There are a limited number of places available on each module and places will be allocated randomly. When you choose your modules, you must make 5 ranked choices for each of sections A-C. You will be allocated to one module per section. You have to be prepared to study any of your 5 choices. Some modules have prohibited combinations (clearly marked on the attached list). This means that you cannot take both modules during the course of your degree. Also, if you are interested in taking an intercollegiate module on a similar topic to a module you are taking or have taken at King’s, you will need to check with the department office whether that particular combination is permitted. If you are unsure, please do ask! You are not permitted to choose any level 5 module(s) that you have already taken in your second year. Modern language modules You have the option of taking a 15 credit language module, which will be taught free of charge at the King’s Modern Language Centre (MLC). If you choose this option you must attend the MLC enrolment where a language tutor will assess your knowledge of the language in order to place you in the appropriate module. This is a compulsory process. MLC enrolment takes place in September 2016. The 15 credit language module must be taken as part of your tariff of 120 credits (as a choice in Section C) and it will count towards your overall degree result. All 15 credit language modules are taught over both semesters (unlike the 15-credit History modules, which either run in semester 1 or in semester 2). The MLC also run evening language classes, which you must pay for and which do not count towards your degree result. To find out more please contact the MLC directly www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/mlc/evening/ See next page Intercollegiate modules (i.e. outside King’s: UCL, SSEES, Royal Holloway (RHUL), Goldsmiths or Queen Mary (QMUL)) Places on intercollegiate modules are limited to 1 King’s student per Level 6 module and 2 King’s students per Level 5 module. The intercollegiate timeslots are Monday 2pm – 4pm for Group 3 / Level 6 modules and Thursday 2pm – 4pm for Group 2 / Level 5 modules. All intercollegiate modules are scheduled for these slots unless indicated with an asterisk (**) on the module list. If you choose one of these asterisked modules (at RHUL and Goldsmiths) be aware that a timetable clash may occur and you will then have to drop one of the clashing modules. We cannot guarantee that all of the intercollegiate modules on offer will run in 2016/17, due to factors beyond the Department’s control. We therefore recommend that you make at least one internal (i.e. King’s) choice per section. Many intercollegiate modules have attendance requirements. Thus at UCL if you attend less than 70% of the lectures/seminars you will not be allowed to complete the module and your results will suffer. This rarely happens, but it is something you need to be aware of. Deadlines and methods of assessment for intercollegiate modules may be different from King’s modules. Please ensure you take note of this when choosing modules. Please note where your module will be taught, e.g. the main campus of Royal Holloway is in Egham, Surrey, which is a 45-minute train journey from Waterloo. We reserve the right not to let a student take an intercollegiate module should we deem their performance/attendance to be unsatisfactory. Timetabling The 2016/17 timetable will be based upon the least number of clashes generated by your module choices. Please be prepared for the fact that once the timetable is published it may have proved impossible to avoid all clashes, and in exceptional cases students may have to switch modules. Intercollegiate modules are obviously not part of the King’s timetabling process. In the case of Group 2 and 3 modules taught in the intercollegiate slots there should not be clashes – however, you will still need to ensure that you establish the date on which teaching starts and the timing of reading weeks, which may differ from those at King’s. What if I change my mind after 1st April? If you change your mind about which modules you want to take, you will be unable to apply to change your modules until after the timetable is published in August 2016. After this date, you will be able to apply to change your modules by consulting the timetable and completing a Module Change Request Form available on the website: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/history/modules/choice/change-form.aspx. Do not assume that your application will automatically be approved. You will be notified of the outcome of your application via email, which will be sent to your @kcl.ac.uk email address. The final deadline for submitting Module Change Request Forms for full-year, semester 1 and language modules will be at the start of October 2016. The final deadline for submitting Module Change Request Forms for semester 2 modules is to be confirmed. Where can I find out more about the modules? Please see the websites below for module descriptions. Please note that you may see descriptions for all the modules that a department has on its books, not all of which will run in any one academic year.
