BA (Hons) History and Creative Writing
Study with a top History department and be taught from the cutting edge of historical research. Learn to think and write imaginatively about the past with our colleagues in Creative Writing.
Our BA History and/with Creative Writing gives you the opportunity to study two subjects that will help you to hone the investigative skills of the historian while developing your writing style.
Through our diverse and inclusive History curriculum, you will learn about an array of cultures and identities. What links our work is our focus on people’s history and everyday lives. This is represented strongly in our first-year programme, which will give you an insight into the making of the modern world through exploration of faith, magic and medicine, campaigns for freedom and equality, Africa and the world, and America from Hamilton to Trump.
Throughout your degree, the common link between the two disciplines will be your analysis and interpretation of texts. As historians, you will learn to analyze historical documents and debates among historians, while in Creative Writing you’ll explore published texts, breaking them down to examine writing techniques.
Study abroad
Taking a year’s study abroad is an excellent opportunity to broaden your understanding of the world. Living in another country opens up fresh perspectives and helps create global citizens. For our history students, immersing themselves in a host country enhances your learning, giving you a greater appreciation of other cultures and societies, and a deeper understanding of their everyday lives. Sampling a new environment could fire your imagination, allowing you to grow as a writer.
