Course Overview

During our four-year BA History (including the foundation year), we work with you to develop your subject-specific knowledge, and to improve your academic skills. You receive a thorough grounding in these areas during your foundation year to prepare you for a further three years of undergraduate study at Essex.

You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community-based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK.

At Essex we’re about social conscience, wondering why, and understanding the bigger picture. We teach you to find your own critical voice and view history through the eyes of different people, telling hidden histories that might otherwise be forgotten.

Our BA History allows you to explore challenging questions about the impact of political, social, and cultural change on individuals, social groups, and regions. From African-American slavery to Stalin’s Russia—from households in Essex to witchcraft in Germany—from the history of the disease to revolutions in China, we urge you to explore the past in order to better understand the present.
