RegisteringAll students must register with the University when they first begin their studies and again at the beginning of each academic session. All students need to register online via the Portal; new full-time students will also need to confirm their attendance in person. Please note, you must have met all the conditions of your offer (including any requirements to provide original or attested proof of previous qualifications) before you will be fully registered. Failure to register may result in changing your start date or cancelling your course.

New students will be able to register online from 1 September. You should use your applicant username and password to access the Portal. Once in the portal you should navigate to the 'Next Steps' tab and then use the 'start online registration' option under the 'My Details' section. If you do not have an applicant username and password, or have forgotten what they are, please contact the Admissions Office on +44(0)115 95 14749.

The main registration event, where new full-time students will confirm their attendance in person, will take place on 22 September in the Temporary Sports Hall between 9.30am and 10.30am. International students will also have the opportunity to confirm their attendance in person during the Welcome Week and if they do this, they will not need to attend the Sports Centre event the following week.

All students are expected to complete their registration within two weeks of their course start date or a late registration fee may be charged. For standard starters the deadline will be 2 October. Standard start international students must complete registration and have arrived in Nottingham by 12noon on Monday 12 October at the latest or they may not be accepted onto their course.

University CardOnce you are confirmed as a student and have an email on file, you will be emailed with a link to the application web site. This email will include your login and password. If you do not receive this email then you should contact the University Card team for assistance ([email protected] or 0115 9515759).

This process is only applicable if you have never before applied for a University Card. If you have previously held a University card and need a replacement, then you need to apply for a Replacement Card instead.

Once you have applied for your first card online it will be produced within 3-5 days. If you are a current student then your card will be available for collection from your school office. If you are a new student and have uploaded your photo prior to registration then your card will be available for collection at registration.

The University of Nottingham Health Service

The Department of Health strongly recommends that all students register with a health centre while studying at university. The University of Nottingham is able to offer students the opportunity to register with its Health Centre on campus. The Centre caters specifically for University students and staff and offers a full range of NHS services.

All new students are invited to attend the registration sessions being held in the Great Hall and Senate Chamber in the Trent Building. Students should be prepared to spend at least thirty minutes to complete Health Centre registration.

Any student with regular access to University Park can register with the Health Centre. Students who live outside the practice catchment area (below) can register with the practice as ‘out of area’ patients, which entitles them to the same care as patients who live within the catchment area. However, if you require a home visit this will be undertaken by a separate service.

Non-EU students wishing to register with the Health Centre must also provide a letter confirming the length of their course. This is to satisfy the NHS requirement that they are studying in the UK for more than six months.

Registration formsPlease bring the forms with you when registering with the Health Centre.

If you do not have them you will have to complete them again from memory which may not provide us with information that affects your medical care.

AUTUMN SEMESTER (60 credits)

Compulsory:

V14481 – RESEARCH METHODS IN HISTORY 30 CreditsV14558 – RESEARCH METHODS IN HISTORY 20 CreditsConvenor: David LavenContributors: Spencer Mawby, Ross Balzaretti, Karen Adler, Harry Cocks

Summary of Content: The module has two purposes. The first is to consider the influence of eminent writers, thinkers, and theorists upon historical (and other) scholarly research. The authors examined change on an annual basis, and the aim is not to suggest the existence of a canon. This year the work of Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, Karl Marx, Pierre Nora, Pierre Bourdieu will be examined. As such the content cuts across divides of chronology and genre in order to analyse the commonalities and differences in the way historians and social scientists think about their work.

In the seminars, students will undertake a close reading and discussion of a seminal work by one of the authors, followed, in the subsequent seminar, by an evaluation of the impact of the work upon historical writing and historical method.

The second purpose of the module is to develop students’ research methods and to hone the approaches required in advanced historical research. These will include bibliographical searching, locating primary sources, writing research proposals and other practical techniques necessary for historical research. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of archives, making use of the holdings of university’s own Archives and Special Collections.

Part-time students will take this compulsory module in their second year.

Summary of Content: The module's exact content will change each year according to the seminar topics offered by those staff involved in its delivery. The programme will, therefore, reflect the research interests and specialisms of contributing staff as well as providing an insight into some of the conceptual issues relating to power and authority in relation to the Middle Ages and its historiography.

Programme example:Session 1: IntroductionSessions 2-8: Seminar topics from a selection including:

Ideologies of power in Paul the Deacon's History of the Lombards Power and authority in early-medieval Italian wills The Peasants' Revolt: Letters of the insurgents and Thomas Walsingham Art and authority: the Codex Amiatinus The 'feudal revolution' of c.1000 The Pope & the Inquisition Heresy Trial records in 15th and 16th-century England …plus others.

Teaching for this module will take place once at week in one of two locations (see seminar timetable).

V14568 – EXPLORING ENGLISH IDENTITY 30 CreditsV14474 – EXPLORING ENGLISH IDENTITY 20 CreditsConvenor: Harry Cocks

Summary of Content: Recent historians have been conscious of English identity not as a stable phenomenon that needs to be described, but rather as an artificial historical construct, ambiguous, hotly debated and subject to regular change and revision. This module examines the ways in which that identity has been constructed in different periods, while keeping an eye on how, in the present day, those periods themselves have been used to create an ‘historic’ sense of English identity. Among the themes to be considered will be the relationship between Britishness and Englishness, and the ways in which the promotion of identity has depended upon ideas of inclusion and exclusion. Themes for analysis which transcend seminars include consideration of race, religion, culture and politics in the making and representation of English national identities.

Convenor: Chrysanthi Gallou (Archaeology)Contributors: Conor Cunningham (Theology), Alison Milbank (Theology), Nicholas Alfrey (History of Art), Lara Pucci (History of Art), Neil Sinclair (Philosophy), Dean Blackburn (History)

Summary of Content: This module examines various ways humans have understood and conceived of landscape and their environment. The module is taught by a series of case studies covering different Humanities disciplines, including the study of physis and techne in the prehistoric Aegean world; the fairies, monsters and green men of Gothic literature; ideas of landscape and environment in religion and Darwinism; the visual culture and representations of landscape in English and French Romantic Art and Cultural Geography; the role of landscape in the construction of memory; contested perceptions of what 'wilderness' is; and how human beings interact with the natural world from an ethical, philosophical, intellectual and political perspective. The module is team taught. The objective of the module is to allow students to reflect critically upon, and contextualise, environmental issues with a heightened understanding of humans’ cultural understanding of their environment.

V14559 – LATIN AND PALAEOGRAPHY 30 CreditsConvenor: Gwilym DoddContributors: Ross Balzaretti, Claire Taylor, Nick Wilshire

Summary of Content: The module teaches the two essential skills required for medieval historical research: beginner’s Latin and Palaeography. The Latin component will introduce students who have not studied the language before to Latin of the sort used in medieval documents. It is a basic introductory course that systematically progresses through aspects of Latin grammar, syntax and vocabulary that will allow students to begin to translate medieval Latin documents. This will be supplemented by studying typical medieval documents available in an edited format. The ability to read early manuscripts is a fundamental skill for all those interested in researching the medieval period. The Palaeography component will introduce students to the various types of handwriting used in medieval documents. It will enable students to begin to read these documents in their unedited, manuscript forms.

V14574 – MEMORY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN MODERN EUROPE 30 CreditsV14528 – MEMORY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN MODERN EUROPE 20 CreditsConvenors: Christian Haase, Dan Hucker

Summary of Content: This module is designed to enhance students' understanding of various conceptual approaches to the study of modern history. Following a chronological approach, this module will use specific case studies as prisms for the examination of common themes, notably memory, identity, and social change. A transnational perspective will be employed to explore the construction and representation of national, political, local and ethnic identities, which are born out of (and continue to shape) social change. In addition, these collective identities will be analysed in terms of memory and commemoration, considering how the recent past is remembered and memorialised. In so doing the module will introduce students to many of the key debates within the literature and will engage with a range of primary and secondary source material. By the end of the module, students will have acquires a sound understanding of how the past has contributed to the construction of contemporary identities in Europe and beyond.

V14595 – (MIS)PERCEPTIONS OF THE OTHER: FROM SAVAGES AND BARBARIANS TO THE EXOTIC AND EROTIC 30 Credits

V14490 – (MIS)PERCEPTIONS OF THE OTHER: FROM SAVAGES AND BARBARIANS TO THE EXOTIC AND EROTIC 20 Credits

Convenor: Onni GustContributors: Liudmyla Sharipova, Peter Darby

Summary of Content: This module will investigate the various ways in which western Europeans and Americans have constructed and categorised peoples as the ‘other’ in a wide range of eras and places. This will include some or all of: views on the Jewish and Islamic faiths in the early-medieval period; notions of Russians between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries; constructions of Amerindians and Africans in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; and views of various societies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries including China and Japan. These ‘others’ were variously constructed as savages, barbarians, exotic, and were often sexualised or eroticised. Even when the ‘other’ was perceived as fabulous – those constructions usually (though not always), had negative connotations and were often used to justify the actions towards them of those doing the ‘othering’. Key themes will be: conceptualisation and construction of the ‘other’; using the other to justify actions; civilisation vs barbarism; decadence vs progress; East vs West; Christianity vs paganism.

Learning Community Forum

The purpose of the Learning Community Forums is to ensure that the views of students are given proper weight in the processes of course and module review, and to ensure that the concerns of students about their courses of studies are represented to the academic staff throughout the academic year. The recommendations of this forum are considered by the Departmental Management Committee. Minutes of the Learning Community Forum are then taken into consideration in the Department’s course reviews.

The forum meets at least once every semester and its membership consists of student representatives from each year of study, and a small number of staff with specific responsibilities relating to postgraduate matters. If you have an issue, concern or suggestion that you would like to be raised at the forum, contact the relevant rep.

Each year students are elected as representatives on the forum. If you are interested in getting involved please email David Laven.

There are also two School-wide LCFs that deal with issues that affect students across the School of Humanities' seven departments. The Forum normally takes place three times per year.
