BA (Hons) History

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

At the University of 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.
