Guidance for transfers into History

If you are thinking about transferring into History from another Tripos, you should discuss this with your Director of Studies. Permission must be obtained from your College, rather than the Faculty.  

University Regulations allow a student who has obtained honours in another Tripos Examination to continue to Part II in History the following way:

In one year - offering five papers in total – as follows

• Paper 1 (HAP)
• Papers 2 and 3 (Section B - Special Subjects) and
• Either two papers from Sections C-D
• Or one paper from Sections C-D and a dissertation 

Please note:

• The requirements to take a pre-1750 and European paper do not apply to students transferring from another Tripos.
• If you have already taken a paper listed for History Part II in another Tripos examination, you may not take it again.
