Modules
Our BA (Hons) History course offers you the chance to study key historical topics from the medieval period to the present day and in each year you will gain and develop your research skills. Studying the past means immersing yourself in the time period that fascinates you. Our modules will let you explore history using written, visual, material, and oral history sources and at each level you will explore how historians debate and reinterpret what the past means today. You will be accessing both the subjects you love already and learning about new ones. Our approach is to share national and international contexts and explore common sources (e.g. treaties, diaries and maps) and more unconventional ones (e.g. comics, films, computer war games, military strategy games). Year One In your first year, you will be introduced to the world of studying history at university and given the chance to study what you love while also dipping into new subjects. Year Two In your second year, you will begin to shape your degree around your interests. Year Three By your final year, you will have a strong sense of what historical area you would like to focus on for your final dissertation project. You will have also had the opportunity to undertake a work placement that will prepare you for your future career.
