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 may also have the opportunity of studying abroad in Australia, Europe or the US during the second semester of your second year.
