History helps us understand how people, societies and ideas have shaped the world we live in today. It isn't just about what happened. It’s about why it mattered and how it was experienced.
Our BA in History gives you the flexibility to pursue the topics that interest you most across a remarkable range of periods and places. From ancient empires and the Crusades to Revolutionary Russia, Renaissance witch-hunts, modern Japan and 20th-century Germany, you'll build a degree that reflects your interests and ambitions.
As you progress, you'll develop the skills of a historian: analysing evidence, weighing different interpretations and constructing persuasive arguments. You'll engage with a wide range of approaches and different ways of doing history, including gender, environmental, digital, transnational and religious histories. You’ll re-evaluate existing understandings of the past to create new and original interpretations of your own.
Through independent research and lively historical debate, you'll deepen your understanding of the past while developing the confidence to ask original questions and explore complex issues. In your final year, you'll complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice, supported by expert academic guidance.
When you graduate, you'll leave with highly valued skills in research, critical thinking, communication and analysis, preparing you for a wide range of careers and future opportunities.
