Awesome, what modules did you do? I'm forced to do Catholic Reformation this year at A2, albeit interesting it doesn't do it for me. I'm doing my EPQ on Enrico Dandolo of Venice, - that is interesting.

I can't remember the exact names, but they basically covered everything from around 400 to 1400. There's also a module on the early medieval church that is quite interesting.

Interesting, I would love to study Byzantium in that period!
For me, 1000-1550 is my favourite period of history.

We really didn't do a lot of Byzantium (if at all…). The courses for this year are here if you want to see what was covered: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/media/publications/coursecatalogue/undergraduate/2014-2015/10002000level/history%20-%2014-15-subhons.pdf

None of the history classes here have covered my favourite areas, though the good thing with that is you learn a lot more than you would otherwise.
