BA(Hons) History shows students how to interrogate the past and expand their knowledge through challenging academic study.

UWE's staff are passionate about teaching and research. They'll help students deepen their historical knowledge and develop their critical thinking.

Students nurture imagination and creativity, and build on their fascination with the social, economic and political forces that have shaped history across centuries and continents. Using primary sources from the start, explore events in their historical contexts and gain a unique insight into the important global issues of today.

Study a broad spectrum of history, working on individual and group research projects. Students gain skills and experience that will help them succeed in their studies and in their chosen career.
