Course Summary

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 will spend your third year abroad, studying in English at one of our partner universities overseas. Visit Global Opportunities to find out more. You will develop excellent critical and communication skills that will prepare you for a wide range of professions and develop your global citizenship.
