About Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History

Ranked in the top 10 in the UK, BA History at the University of Roehampton gives students the chance to study over 3,000 years of the past; and the option of a paid one-year work placement.

Taught by a team of world-class historians, students will cover a vast range of periods, from the Viking conquests, through Tudor England to the collapse of Communism, and the events that laid the path to Brexit.

Geographically, the curriculum is equally expansive, taking in the Americas, the British World, Europe, Africa and Asia. Interested in Islam and Women? The Vikings? Or early modern magic? This degree lets students focus on the areas of history that inspire them most.

Students will get real-world experience, and work placement and internship opportunities, and build the skills needed to open the door to many rewarding careers. Working alongside world-class scholars, students will also develop their own identity as a historian and their own research interests. If students are looking to understand the issues the world faces today by learning from the past, and are ready to develop the skills that employers seek, this degree is for them.

The history degree is designed to build on education by developing students as an individual and supporting their aspirations. Students will learn to understand history in different ways, giving them a new perspective and challenging their views.

Students will develop key critical and analytical skills, and gain the confidence to present their arguments and debate ideas. Studying history in the 21st century requires digital literacies as well as traditional research skills, and at the University of Roehampton, students will learn the latest methods for uncovering the past.

The University of Roehampton fosters a supportive environment built on strong student-staff relationships and an environment that helps them to thrive, whatever their background. Students will learn through engaging lectures and seminars and also have one-on-one tutorials, personal guidance meetings, and extracurricular activities to allow students to develop their experience outside the classroom.

The books and documentaries produced by historians are reflected in the lessons and their contributions often become part of the dialogue that informs staff research. Students will take up opportunities to study abroad, undertake a work placement, meet visiting scholars from around the world, and join fellow students on field trips at home and overseas. Students can also join the student-led Roehampton Historical Society and contribute their own ideas.

This course offers all students the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost their employability even further. If students choose this route, they will take the placement following year two of their course, and then return to complete their degree.
