Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History with Year Abroad

In Year 1, students are introduced to the study of history at degree level. The University helps students to gain a good grounding in historical periods and cultures from around the globe, including Asia, Europe and the Americas. Students explore the nature of history as a discipline, its changing assumptions, methods and definitions, and the current concerns of historians.

In Years 2 and 4, students focus on the acquisition of research skills and knowledge as the basis of more specialised study. Students will choose from a range of optional modules in Year 2 that either focus on how to use original documents or explore, through thematic approaches, continuity and change over a long period of time.

In Year 3, students spend a year studying at one of the partner universities in Europe, USA or Canada, gaining a valuable experience, broadening their horizons by learning about another culture first-hand, and boosting their CV.
