The legacies of the past are all around us. From the structure of institutions to the shape of economies; from the ways we think to the course of social movements; and from the problems of our day to the relationships that give our lives meaning, history’s influences are complex and subtle. Historians explore a wide range of evidence to construct interpretations of human behaviour and thinking in the past, communicating them to a variety of audiences to better make sense of the world around us.
Undertaking a history degree with us allows you to study what you’re passionate about while gaining the tools, skills, and experience to stand out in the workplace or further study as a critical thinker with deep understandings of context, continuity, and change, and ready to take on the challenges of today and tomorrow with confidence, resilience, and creativity.
Our BA (Hons) History spans a wide chronology from the early medieval period to the modern day. The course leads students on an exploration of experiences and themes in both Global and British History, developing an awareness of national, regional, and local experiences and perspectives and their interrelationships. Classroom learning is augmented with regular trips, social events and external lectures to help you have fun, make new friends and widen your horizons, and there are opportunities to undertake study abroad, work placements, and work with external organisations on community-based projects to help equip you with the skills and confidence necessary to launch a successful career or business. Progressing through the course, students will continually build their knowledge, skills, experience, portfolio, and historical practice and, by the end, will produce a specialist dissertation project on a topic of their choosing.
Joining our community of scholars means you will study in one of England’s richest historical landscapes, benefit from exciting opportunities to work directly with our community and heritage partners on a variety of projects, be taught and mentored by expert and supportive staff, and enjoy our modern facilities, including unrivalled access to The Hold, the flagship branch of the Suffolk Archives located right on our campus which puts over 900 years of historical documents at your fingertips.
