BA (Honours) Arts and Humanities (History)

The degree starts by developing your understanding of our world through various perspectives, periods, and subjects – including history. You’ll then take at least two specialist history modules covering different periods of history from around 1500 to the late twentieth century. You’ll tackle such exciting and challenging issues as power and warfare, culture and beliefs, health and medicine, imperialism, class, and gender, and learn the skills of the historian in understanding sources, debates, and approaches to the past.

Alongside your study of history, you can choose to study a second specialism from art history, classical studies, creative writing, English language, English literature, modern languages, music, philosophy, and religious studies. This will entitle you to include both subjects in the name of your degree or complete your degree with modules chosen from a wide range of options.

• Specialise in history within a broad and flexible arts and humanities degree

• Develop a range of skills that will be valuable in the workplace and to further study

• Have the opportunity to write an extended essay drawing on independent study

• Select a second specialism to complement and enhance your study of history

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification.
