The integrated Single Honours degree in History is a flexible programme distinguished by the range of options available to students at Honours levels. It allows students to access courses in all historical eras and to draw on the expertise of the widest possible range of teaching staff.
The study of history – the recovery and analysis of the full range of human activity over time – is as rewarding as it is challenging. Past cultures and civilisations are worth studying for their own sake, yet historical awareness enriches contemporary experience by linking the present with the past, thus explaining the origins of many of the world’s current problems. They also help us to recognise that our own cultural and social values are not the only (or even most natural or just) ones that people have lived with.
As globalisation makes the world a smaller and more homogenous place, history remains one of the few real fields for exploration and anthropological research – and through the study of history you can encounter new tribes and lost kingdoms. Discovering these alien cultures will help you to understand your own prejudices.
The study of history, therefore, involves acquiring the intellectual know-how to evaluate varied kinds of evidence and the skills necessary to interpret it and communicate its significance to others.
We offer an integrated Single Honours degree in History combining elements from the range available in Middle East Studies, as well as Ancient, Mediaeval, Modern and Scottish History. This gives you access to the broadest possible range of Honours modules without chronological or geographical constraint. In addition to this degree, the School of History also offers more specialised degrees in Mediaeval, Modern and Scottish History which are described on the following pages.
