Overview
You’ll look at each from the perspectives of History, Music, Philosophy and Religious Studies, discovering how these disciplinary approaches complement each other and enhance your understanding of continuity and change. In the final part, you'll return to the discipline that most interests you and study a topic or period in greater depth.

Your tutor will also support you with the independent study aspects of the module, including one-to-one advice. Tuition will take place online through tutorials and forums. Your tutor will also keep in contact by phone.
Programme Structure
This module is divided into five blocks:- Reformation and print: In this first block, you’ll be introduced to the module’s four disciplinary approaches through two major and interconnected developments from the early modern period
- The French Revolution:In Block 2, you'll look at the event which created the modern concept of a revolution: the French Revolution.
- Revolutions and the First World War: In this third block, you'll learn about the turmoil created by the most destructive conflict the world had ever seen, including social crisis, political radicalism
- The 1960s: This block looks at a different kind of revolution, focusing on the social and cultural changes of the 1960s in Europe and the USA, examining these in a much wider global context, in an age of satellites and television.

General requirements
- OU level 1 modules provide core subject knowledge and study skills needed for both higher education and distance learning, to help you progress to modules at OU level 2. This module builds on the skills and understandings of relevant arts and humanities subjects developed through the study of Discovering the arts and humanities (A111). We strongly advise you to take A111 first, unless you have already completed The arts past and present (AA100), now discontinued.
- Successful completion of this module will equip you for more specialised OU level 2 arts and humanities modules. This module focuses on the subject areas of History, Music, Philosophy and Religious Studies and may therefore be of particular relevance if you intend to study any of these subjects at OU level 2 or beyond.
