Bachelor of Arts in English and History

Program Overview

The combination of English and history is a natural one. To understand how English literature and language have changed, developed and influenced cultures, you need to explore the historical context in which they were created. Literary texts can also provide important insights that help us create a clearer picture of into life in earlier periods of history.

Splitting your time between English and history, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue either an English literature or an English language pathway - or even take modules from both areas, studying a range of genres from literary fiction, journalism, theatre, film, everyday conversation, adverts, digital writing, to poetry and creative writing.

History is an imaginative process; it requires us to appreciate things from points of view that are often very different. Covering topics ranging from the ancient world to the present and encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, you’ll analyse the processes and ideas that have shaped our world.

Developing an acute awareness of how a sense of the past underpins institutions, identities and traditions, historians play a critical role in contemporary discourse.
