Study Modern History at UEA and witness the unfolding of events since the French Revolution of 1789. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the main developments of modern history, going right up to the era of Putin, Trump, and Brexit. Your knowledge of modern history will give you a deeper critical insight into the problems of the present. You’ll graduate with a particular knowledge and understanding of the challenges of the modern world, especially in political and international contexts – as well as research, analytical, and communication skills which will prove invaluable in the workplace or if you choose to move on to postgraduate study. Imagine reading Queen Victoria’s diaries, analysing Nazi reports on the Olympic Games, or considering the social and political power of Cold War era pop music. This is just a glimpse of the sort of primary reading you might do as part of a Modern History degree at UEA.
