BA in Modern and Contemporary History

We offer several practical or placement modules so that you can gain hands-on experience in your chosen career path. For instance, our 'History in the Classroom' module includes practical teaching experience by incorporating a placement in a local school, and our 'Heritage Field Project' will give you hands-on experience working in the heritage industry, offering you invaluable experience for the future.
