About BA History
We place particular emphasis on undergraduate research. At Bristol, students 'do' history as well as read history through a mix of core units and a wide choice of primary source-based optional units. You will undertake one substantial piece of independent research each year, culminating in a final-year dissertation.
In the first year you will study medieval, early modern and modern history, exploring key themes that you may not have encountered at A-level. After this, you will pursue your own pathway through the degree, choosing from a wide range of thematic and research-oriented units.
In recent years topics have included:
- Science and the Supernatural
- NGOs and Humanitarianism Since 1945
- Drink and Disorder in Early Modern England
- Sixties America and its Aftermath
You also have the opportunity to study abroad during your second year. Recent destinations have included Australia, Europe, and the United States.
