Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History (V100)

Studying History is exciting and rewarding; it encourages you to appreciate the surprising variety of human experience. And at the same time, it sharpens your skills of analysis, argument and communication, helping you to become someone others rely on for persuasive arguments and sound judgement.

Right from the start, you will choose your own path through our thought-provoking landscapes, from Magna Carta to modern China, exploring topics as diverse as the Byzantine Empire, Tudor queenship, or international terrorism in the twentieth century.

In your second and final years, you will have the opportunity to develop your own interests along with chances to do sustained independent research. At the same time, there are chances to explore and try new things all the way to the final term.

Studying in the shadow of Windsor Castle and Runnymede allows you meet history face-to-face, with access to the unique archives and collections held in our libraries and the unparalleled libraries, museums, and historic sites of London not far away. A friendly system of small-group teaching offers the chance to get to know and work with leading researchers and world experts in your subject from the first weeks of your degree.
