1 Introduction to the Lecture List
The list of Lectures and Classes is divided into sections for General Lectures (Section 2), the Preliminary
Examination (Section 3), the Final Honour School (Section 4), and Postgraduate Courses and Seminars
(Section 5).
The sections dedicated to undergraduate courses are divided into sub-sections according to the type
of course to which the lectures relate. Some courses of lectures are entered under more than one
section or sub-section, if they are relevant to more than one course in the Preliminary Examination or
the Final Honour School.
The section dedicated to postgraduate study and research is divided into sub-sections according to
type of seminar/meeting and then by research period.
Undergraduates and graduates are recommended to read through all sections of the list and not to
focus narrowly on those specifically designated for particular paper options. Lectures relevant to
History may also appear on other faculties’ lecture lists, which can be accessed through the University
website: http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/lectures. Students in Joint Schools are
particularly referred to the lists for their other subject (see 3.2 below), but History undergraduates are
also encouraged to browse them according to their particular interests.
1.1 Version There may be late changes and amendments to this Lecture List. For an up-to-date version, please
check the History Faculty Website (http://www.history.ox.ac.uk/faculty/events/lecture-lists.html) or
WebLearn (https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal/hierarchy/humdiv/history)
This version was last updated 20 April 2018.
1.2 Attendance
Many lectures cover courses for which students will be taking tutorials in the same term, but some
lecture-courses will take place in a different term from the tutorials, whether later or earlier. Students
are encouraged to ensure that they have identified lectures relevant to them. This may particularly
apply to lectures for British and General History, but also in Trinity Term to a range of other courses.
Students are also encouraged to attend any lectures which catch their interest, for their own sake or
to guide them in future choices of courses or topics, including for their theses.

Non-members of the University may not attend university lectures (unless they are announced as
open to the general public) without payment of a fee, otherwise than by personal invitation of the
lecturer concerned. Persons who are neither reading for a qualification of this University nor
otherwise exempt under special arrangements for certain categories of non-members, and who wish
to attend lectures in any term, should apply to the Fees Clerk, University Offices, Wellington Square,
Oxford OX1 2JD, who will provide information on the fee required. Senior visiting scholars from other
universities who wish to attend lectures, seminars, or classes should normally approach the lecturer
concerned directly, and not the Fees Clerk.
1.3 Timing of Lectures
Lectures begin on the first possible day after the beginning of Full Term (Sunday, 23 April) and run in
Weeks 1-8 of term unless otherwise stated.
Events shown on this list are generally one hour long unless otherwise stated. Lectures will begin five
minutes after the hour and finish at five minutes before the next hour.

2 General Lectures
2.1 Special Lectures Applying various endowments given for the purpose, the University invites distinguished scholars to
give series or individual special lectures, on topics current to their research or of general interest.
Historians from professors to undergraduates attend these lectures, which are also open more widely,
and students are strongly encouraged to take the opportunity to hear what are often the first fruits of
new research, which will later become important articles and books.

5 Postgraduate Courses and Seminars
Research Students in Modern History (particularly Probationer Research Students and candidates
for the M.St. in Historical Research) are reminded that they are required to attend the ‘core’ seminar
relevant to their period or area of study, and that they are encouraged to attend optional subject
classes for master’s programmes in History relevant to their area of research. All participants in such
classes will be expected to prepare themselves for each session in the same way as those who take
the class as part of their registered programme.
Students on taught courses are advised that offerings listed in the ‘research seminars’ section may
be relevant to their course of study, particularly the ‘core’ seminars in the subject area of their
intended course dissertation.
5.1 Research Seminars
These seminars are primarily devoted to the presentation and discussion of research findings. Papers
are usually given by a mixture of external and internal speakers, including graduate students.
Research seminars are divided by period on this lecture list for ease of reference.
