Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Psychology (VC1V)

The study of History helps students to understand how individuals, communities and societies have lived in the past and how those past experiences have helped to shape the present world. Liverpool Hope University’s History degree gives students the opportunity to study a wide-range of historical periods from the Early Modern period to more recent contemporary historical events.

History at Liverpool Hope University is part of the supportive and friendly environment within the subject areas of History, Politics and International Relations. Students will benefit from being taught by a team of recognized scholars, who have published widely in their fields and who are dedicated and experienced teachers.

Throughout the degree, students will be able to take advantage of the rich library, archival, museum and heritage resources available in Liverpool and further afield. Working with the resources of the many Liverpool museums forms an important part of their learning experiences. The History team run a range of fieldwork activities every year in the local area and beyond, and offers the opportunity for study visits to major European cities on an annual basis.

Through Liverpool Hope's teaching of Psychology, they strive to enable their students to grow into constructive citizens who are curious about people, and motivated to make a positive difference to the lives of others. Beyond classroom learning, there are opportunities to enrich the students' chosen program of study in a way that will help them in developing their psychological thinking. They include going on a placement year, working as a research assistant in a laboratory, travelling to another country as part of Global Hope, or studying abroad.
