Our campus is centred in history, set alongside the iconic Tower of London, the busy river Thames, and bustling St Katharine Docks, where people and goods embarked and arrived on their way to and from the British Empire and the wider world. Fascination with the deep history of Britain, the world and the global connections that created the modern world, runs through our BA (Hons) History degree.The BA (Hons) History introduces students to the full range of history from modern to medieval, local to global, and develops the skills needed to analyse historical sources and to communicate their findings to the wider public. Our history students develop strong analytical and communication skills. They are adept at conducting research and critically assessing sources. They can apply the knowledge needed to understand our past and present with the skills to shape our future. These valuable and transferable skills open up a wide array of career possibilities upon graduation.
