Course summary
Overview Imagine decoding the Bayeux Tapestry, examining Henry VIII’s armour, or exploring the social and political power of jazz. These are some of the paths you could choose on BA History with a Placement Year. From the Roman Empire to Thatcher’s Britain, you’ll study the political, social, economic and cultural forces that have shaped the world. You’ll be taught by a team of internationally recognised historians and learn about developments around the globe: from Britain and its empire, across continental Europe and the Middle East, to South and East Asia and North America. You’ll learn how to develop and communicate your own ideas, and how to interpret historical sources. Choice will be at the heart of your degree. Building on a firm grounding in your first year, in your second and fourth years you’ll choose from a wide range of optional modules. You’ll decide how to build your course, tailoring your studies to your interests.
