BA History and Culture

Objectives This degree gives students a firm grounding in the historical discipline while at the same time allowing them to range across other subjects in the humanities. In the first year students take the History core module, The Making of the Modern World, 1750-2000, a History option and two other modules chosen from elsewhere in the Arts Faculty. In subsequent years students take at least half their modules in History, and are free to choose from approved cross-Faculty modules taught by contributing departments to the degree (currently the Departments of Classics, English, Film Studies, French, German, History of Art, Italian, Philosophy, Theatre Studies and the Language Centre).
Entry requirements General university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
