Summary

Choose the life-enriching pursuit of History, the sum of human experience and the study of the human condition. This endlessly fascinating subject demands analytical rigour, precision of thought, and the ability to communicate clearly. The BA (Hons) in History offers the study of a broad sweep of history. Our curriculum approaches the past in all its guises: economic, political, social, cultural and intellectual history. Read more

You will study a diverse range of subject matters, from the Middle Ages to the modern day. You will study two survey courses; six increasingly focused period-specific courses, which encourage real intellectual depth; and one course reflecting on the nature of the discipline and equipping you with the skills to master it.

By choosing Art History as a minor you will have the opportunity to widen your view of history through the study of cultural artefacts, developing a greater understanding of the people and times that created them. You will develop critical skills in how to look, to think, and to present your ideas succinctly and persuasively.

Teaching & learning

You will typically experience an average of 8 or more hours of high-quality contact time in each teaching week, in considerably smaller groups than are the norm for UK institutions at the undergraduate level, if you choose to study History as your major subject. The exact number of contact hours will depend on your choice of minor subject and any optional courses. Read more

Your contact hours will include a mixture of teaching methods best suited to the subject matter and to achieve the learning outcomes for each individual course. Teaching formats include small group tutorials, seminars, and lectures of between 10 and 60 students for your degree courses.
