(NOT OFFICIAL) Durham University History (V100) Freshers 2025/2026

I've not completed registration yet so My Timetable doesn't work for me yet. Which module combinations have you tried, out of curiosity? Just so I can know when I choose mine

i know we aren't supposed to choose our modules yet but i was curious by how it says "it is your responsibility to check that the modules which you select are time table compatible". Have any of you who have looked at your preferred modules on the timetable been able to make them compatible cuz all the combinations I've tried have clashed lol

For those who’ve had emails from history department is that coming thru on ur Durham email?

can i ask also... when we have put your modules choices in and pressed 'confirm' it doesn't seem to register with the tick on the list of things to complete. Go in and try again... same thing. Have you managed to confirm and complete?

I think the History modules aren't live until Wednesday and they want you to input them through microsoft rather than Banner. It should all be in a recent email (we got ours yesterday).

i tried cultural history of Europe, Atlantic archipelago and power in africa. Then i tried The State We're in instead of the cultural history of europe, and then I tried East Asian Histories instead of Power in Africa and all of those combos had at least one clash <

that's weird, surely if they're all in different lists they wouldn't clash... (I know the lists for V100 are categorised by era and location, but surely it'd be easier to have modules in the same list scheduled at the same times? then again, that would make it more complicated if you want to take another history module for your fourth option...)
man i really hope The State We're In and Imagining East Asian Histories don't clash, those are the ones I've got my heart set on doing

When I checked lectures for the 'State We're In' are Monday 10-11am and lectures for 'Imagining East Asian Histories' Friday 2-3.

Sent through my first year BA History module preferences. It was more of a numbered ranking than a straightforward choice.
I seriously hope I have better look than with my Durham college rankings. Was given my 10th choice college then.

I completely agree. Didn't expect everything at Durham to be a lottery. Got my 8th choice, don't know why they bothered to ask in the first place. I wonder what the "popular" History modules are?

As mentioned above I'd imagine 'The State We're In,' (modern British history) to be very popular. Also probably The Road to Trump' (contemporary US political history).
I've also been told before that any course involving the Nazi's is always extremely popular and over-subscribed. Similarly for the history modules that focus on wars and empires and that's in spite of the academic trend towards social history and culture.
