Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

The principal objective of the course is to provide students with specialist knowledge and understanding of the political, social and economic developments that took place in northern Britain during the Roman period. Particular aims are to subject received assumptions and scholarly models to critical scrutiny, and to maximise student handling of primary evidence, including literary sources (read in translation), material and artefactual evidence, and a certain amount of linguistics. Students will emerge from the course having developed a sufficient degree of expertise in the subject to undertake a Masters dissertation.

Assessment Information

Students will be required to submit one individual essay of no less than 4000 words, and no more than 5000 words, to be handed in on the last Monday of the semester in which the course is run. The essay mark will count as 100% of the final grade.
