Course summary

Study our expansive history degree that's flexible to your interests, gives you advanced skills to future-proof your career, and supports you in completing original research on histories you're passionate about. With renowned world-leading experts covering all seven continents and courses spanning 1500 years, we pride ourselves on offering a broad and inclusive curriculum that celebrates new, interesting and innovative topics as well as introducing you to the major themes in medieval, early modern, modern and contemporary history. Our commitment to choice in every year of study means that we support you to access this expertise. We'll help you build a programme that blends the latest research on historical debates with new kinds of social, cultural, political, environmental and global histories that Bristol academics are pioneering. In recent years, first-year optional units have included:

  • ‘Fight the Power': Democracy and Protest
  • Slavery
  • Modern Revolutions
  • Gender in the Modern World
  • The American Century
  • War and Society
Recent second and third-year specialist units include:
  • The F Word: Understanding Italian Fascism Then and Now

Our teaching connects the past with the most pressing issues facing humanity whilst training you to apply the valuable historical skills of interpreting evidence, understanding context, constructing robust analyses, and communicating your ideas with others. Varied assessments help you practice these skills, design projects and develop the persuasive storytelling that means our history graduates can fulfil their potential in future careers in government, public organisations, creative industries, education, business, law and beyond. On the History with Study Abroad programme, you will spend your third year abroad, studying in English at one of our partner universities overseas. In addition to experiencing student life in another institution and culture, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to broaden your historical knowledge and further develop your skills of analysis and communication.
