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 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 themes in medieval, early modern and modern history. You will then pursue your own pathway through the degree, choosing from a wide range of thematic and research-oriented units. Choice and small-group teaching are embedded in the degree at every level.
In recent years topics have included:
- Witchcraft;
- Capitalism;
- The Tudor World;
- 20th-century America.
Many units explore topics and periods that have a direct link to our world today.
You may also have the opportunity of studying abroad in Australia, Europe or the US during the second semester of your second year.
