Course Overview

Our BA History degree offers you a huge range of history modules, stretching around the world and across thousands of years.  

Our expertise underpins our teaching. We are one of the very few history departments in the UK to include archaeologists, classicists, and historians working on every period from prehistoric humans to Ancient Greece to medieval, early modern, and modern societies. Our expertise encompasses much of the globe from Ancient Rome, medieval Armenia, modern China, India, and Africa to Tudor London and Nazi Germany and more. In addition to pursuing interests in British, European, and global history, and exploring themes within histories of ‘race’, migration, gender, and sexuality, you will have the opportunity to take modules from allied disciplines like politics and international relations, literature, philosophy, and geography.

Graduates can pursue career paths in education, research, and journalism. Possible professions include:

heritage manager

museum/gallery curator

higher education lecturer

archivist.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond.
