History BA (Hons)

Exploring primarily contemporary and 19th and 20th-century history, this course will hone your ability to absorb, understand, and communicate complex information. While focusing on war and conflict, immigration, racism, nationalism, and empire, you’ll explore, debate, and evaluate the key events and ideas that have shaped our world.

As you progress through the course, we’ll challenge you with more in-depth explorations, and the subject matter will become increasingly complex.

Our History BA course is diverse, international in focus, and innovative. We cover British, South Asian, European, and African and North and South American history and, more unusually for a degree course in the UK, also include photographic history, the history of sport and leisure, war and conflict, migration, ethnicity and racism, and employability.
