History (BA)

The BA History programme offers a huge range of modules, stretching around the globe and across thousands of years. As well as deepening one's knowledge of the past, students will take a series of 'How To' modules. They provide the hub where students come together with staff to explore the study of the past together. Students will acquire the analytical skills and critical approaches that enable them to assess historical evidence for themselves and to question accepted wisdom about the past as well as enhancing their career prospects by developing the ability to formulate and communicate their own ideas effectively. Graduates can pursue careers in education, research and journalism. This degree may also be useful in becoming a heritage manager, museum/gallery curator, higher education lecturer or archivist.
