There is also an option to specialise in an area so that you can focus on those aspects of the past that you find most rewarding.<br/><br/>There is an important social side to the course too. Students have an opportunity to join a number of societies and we incorporate out of classroom learning. The International Fieldwork in History level 5 module, where students travel to a Europe city, will allow you to sample a different culture and how this influences the ways in which history is presented in museums. Other modules incorporate visits to sites on Merseyside and beyond.<br/><br/>**Foundation Year**<br/><br/>The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the interest and ability to study for a degree, but do not have the qualifications to enter directly onto the History honours degree programme yet. Once you pass the Foundation Year (level 3) you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).
