King's College London

The archives associated with King George III held at Windsor Castle are exceptionally rich and voluminous and in many cases largely unexplored. King’s College London is currently working with the Royal Household to digitize these archives and make them more widely accessible through the Georgian Papers program. This course gives students an extraordinary opportunity to experience this project and learn how scholars in a range of disciplines engage with an archive and help interpret it to both scholarly and wider public audiences. During the course they learn about the history of George’s reign from a range of expert scholars, in preparation for themselves selecting, and then editing and preparing an edition of a document from the archive. Throughout the course students receive training and guidance on how to prepare an edition to a high scholarly standard and have the opportunity to practice these techniques in a group project before embarking on their chosen assignment.

This course explores contemporary developments in marketing, in light of recent developments in socio-economic, technology, and regulatory trends in society and their influences on attitudes and behavior.

It adopts an active, collaborative, and inclusive style of teaching in tutorials. Many industry professionals come to class to provide real case studies, problems, and insights which mainly focus on equality and diversity, and sustainability issues. These guests provide the briefs for students' real-life authentic assessment task.
