BA (Hons) History

... United Kingdom
... University of Birmingham

Course Overview

History is not a plain narrative of events, it is an attempt to discover how and why our own world emerged. Studying undergraduate History is an exciting chance to investigate global unfamiliar territory and to question some of the myths, preconceptions and prejudices that surround the subject.

The size and quality of our History Department enables us to offer you a wide range of options to study across the medieval, early modern and modern periods, and over a vast geographical span. Historians in other University Departments expand the range of modules on offer, notably in the fields of Byzantine and African history, which broaden your learning opportunities even further.

  • The International Baccalaureate Diploma

  • SQA Highers and Advanced Highers (many programmes will accept Highers without additional Advanced Highers)
