BA History is one of the five most popular subjects among UK university students, and with good reason. Having a historical perspective enables people to make sense of todays rapidly changing world. Employers like it because history teaches you to think for yourself, to work under pressure, and to construct a coherent argument from the evidence. Historical research has never been more exciting than it is today, with the internet making available so many treasures from the archives.This BA History programme has been carefully designed and fine-tuned by Buckinghams team of experienced and high-calibre historians. It offers an outline and conceptual modules which concentrate on the period from 1800 to the present day – though we do study some earlier periods too from the 1500s onwards too. It covers, in particular, empires, the rise in political polarisation, World Wars and the shaping of our modern political systems, whilst considering the relationship between ideology and the historical process.Duration2 YearsAvailable start datesSep 2024Jan 2025
