BA HISTORY

Our academics are leading historians, and are hugely enthused by their research and experience. This translates directly into their superb teaching, which will be delivered through a combination of lectures and seminars.

Our academic staff’s research interests span the early Middle Ages to the modern era and include topics such as landscape history, social and cultural history, gender history, ecclesiastical history, and political and diplomatic history. The Centre of East Anglian Studies, the first regional centre of its kind, is also located within the School. You can find out more about the specialisms and current research projects of the experts you will study with by viewing our staff profiles. Through our lectures you’ll discover the key methods, ideas and issues of historical enquiry, and you’ll take part in focused study in seminars. You’ll learn how to listen to and critique the ideas of others, as well as how to present and defend your own ideas. We believe one of the best ways to learn is by doing, so selected modules will include interesting and thought-provoking field trips, where you’ll consider history in a real-world setting.

Designed to achieve a balance between independent thinking and taught study skills, our course will help you develop into a self-motivated learner, an expert researcher and an analytical thinker. And you’ll receive guidance and constructive feedback throughout to help you improve. Much of your course will be devoted to independent research at our state-of-the-art library, as well as to writing essays and completing practical work and projects. Evidence-based analysis will help you develop accuracy and precision in your written work, and self-directed study will instil the confidence, time management and organisational abilities that will serve you well in your working career.
