Course Overview

Our specialism in social and cultural history marks us out as different from History courses elsewhere. Here at BGU, you are encouraged to study the past with empathy and see the past from other, sometimes challenging, perspectives.

Here at BGU in Lincoln, you won’t just study history through documents; you’ll learn through placements and site visits to archives and museums. Throughout the course, you will explore various fascinating topics spanning several historical eras in different local, national, and global contexts. You’ll analyze data, images, and texts, construct arguments and engage in original historical research. You will also look at how history is encountered within the community and take a work-based placement at a school, archive, museum, or other site that fits your career goals and direction.

This undergraduate degree will help build your skills as a historian, from introductory subjects in your first year to an independent, research-based dissertation in your final year. As well as learning about people in the past, you will investigate how people today engage with history and consider how the past can be brought alive.

This course offers a different type of Theology and Ethics – we like to think of it as Theology ‘with its sleeves rolled up.’ Our hands-on undergraduate degree will take you beyond the classroom and will open doors that have the potential to change your life and empower you to make a difference in the world you inhabit.

Get ready to look at recent trends in theology alongside the implications of scientific discovery, exploring religious debate and arguments for atheism and God's existence. You won’t stop studying world religions, however. You’ll also explore other key events and issues related to terrorism, race, gender, and sexuality. At BGU in Lincoln, we have many years of experience teaching Religious Studies, Philosophy, and Theology. We designed this degree to bring the oldest academic subjects firmly into the present day – combining the richness of ancient tradition with the relevance and freshness of a 21st-century topic.

Throughout the course, you’ll develop your curiosity and fascination about religious cultures, learning from hands-on experience and developing research and critical evaluation skills.
