First year of university complete

After sitting my last exam on Friday, I realised I was no longer a fresher!

This also means this blog will be taking a new direction,

My next year modules are:

Autumn:

- Medicine and society pre 17th century

- Tudor and Stuart England

- Victorian Britain

Spring:

- Medicine and society in modern Britain

- From Agincourt to Bosworth: England in the War of the Roses

- Rural England 1660-1900

These will be the themes I will explore on my blog, hopefully I can make them as interesting as they sound!!

Thanks for reading 

 

My history highlights of the first year at university:

- The excellent opportunity to meet and hear what Historian and Holocaust survivor Ladislaus Löb had to say on his experience Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and how the 1938 Kindertransport saved his life.

- UEA's very own Dr Jessica Sharkey who delivered a fantastic lecture on Thomas Wolsey's connections with East Anglia which provided an interesting and entertaining insight.

- Thursday night 'screenings' for our Holocaust in History module where we were shown footage from the archives on the first reactions to the holocaust. Many students were quite emotional as the subject really hit home, and a further understanding on the atrocities set in.
