BA History A-levels AAA (ABB†


) IB 36 (32† )


We place particular emphasis on undergraduate research. At Bristol, students ‘do’ history as well as read history through a mix of core units and a choice of primary source-based optional units. You will undertake one substantial piece of independent research each year, culminating in a final-year dissertation.


In the first year, you will study themes that you may not have encountered at A-level: medieval, early modern and colonial history. After this, you will pursue your own pathway through the degree, choosing from a wide range of thematic and research-oriented units. In recent years topics have included: Science and the Supernatural, Drink and Disorder in Early Modern England, and Sixties America and its Aftermath. Many units explore topics and periods that have a direct link to our world today.


You also have the opportunity of studying abroad – in Australia, Europe or the United States – during the second semester of your second year, where you may study a range of rich historical themes specific to your chosen destination.
