Research Project (Integrated BSc) (HPSC0053)

This is a full-year module for students undertaking an Intercalated BSc in the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Students undertake a research project largely of their own design and direction in the field of science and technology studies. An appropriate supervisor is agreed with the module coordinator, and research is discussed during regular tutorials. Students submit a literature survey and a 10,000-word research paper summarising their finding. They also deliver an oral presentation describing their work-in-progress.

Ancient Middle Eastern Religion (HIST0660)

This module explores religion as a practice, an idea, and as material presence in the ancient Middle East, focusing principally on the Bronze Age (3rd-2nd millennia BC) with occasional excursions into the Iron Age (1st millennium BC). Through engagement with primary sources supported by weekly readings in secondary literature, we will consider different manifestations of religious beliefs and practices through artefacts, architecture, textual documents, and burials. The course is structured thematically, with each week’s session dedicated to a particular topic, debate, or body of evidence. Seminar discussions will revolve around case studies and/or primary sources to problematise wider issues in the study of ancient Middle Eastern religions.

This is the compulsory dissertation module for students on the MA Ancient History degree programme.
