Bachelor of Arts in History and Sociology

Program Overview

This varied joint honours degree will give you an insight into the structures that shape human societies, while allowing you to explore how those communities have changed over time.

You’ll consider the complexities of class, gender, race and other factors in different societies, while gaining an understanding of the diverse histories of power, resistance, and social change in British, European and world history.

Modules will introduce you to key theories and concepts in sociology, while in history a core module will give you a firm foundation in historical skills and explore ways the past is researched. You’ll also choose from optional modules in both subjects, spanning from the early medieval period to today, cutting across cultures and considering some of the biggest social challenges faced in the modern world.

From mysticism to decolonisation, drug policy to ethnicity and sexuality, this wide-ranging and exciting course will give you a real insight into the relationships between individuals and society. You’ll also gain valuable skills that are valuable to employers.

Leeds has excellent resources for historians, including a wealth of archive material and political documents. The University Library's Special Collections include the papers of Zygmunt Bauman, a prolific sociologist and writer, and the Gypsy, Traveller and Roma collection that spans the 16th century up to the modern day.
