Bachelor of Arts (History)
Its scope spans millennia, its object of study is humanity, its sources are everywhere and everything. History’s endeavour is unashamedly vast, daunting and challenging. Studying history means learning how to learn about the past, it means engaging with its wonders and horrors, and it means joining in its telling and retelling.
Uncover the deep causes of events such as the American Revolution or the First World War, and discover how women and men experienced the medieval world or the colonisation of Australia. History introduces you to the complexities involved in these pursuits and requires you to use both imagination and reason. Studying history will immerse you in discovery, debate, discussion, understanding, surprise and awe, and it will require of you rigour, reason, questioning, imagination and passion. By studying history, you will be part of the process by which humanity’s memory itself comes to be made.
