Course summary

A History degree equips you with the insights and skills to make a significant contribution to future society. With topics spanning the Neolithic period right up to the more recent past, this BA (Hons) History aims to develop your understanding of a wide range of human history.Studying History encourages you to take an analytical approach to the past, so that you can understand and contribute to historical controversies, and can understand ways in which the past is at least partly constructed in the present. It therefore hopes to train you intellectually so you can explain the relevance of the past in the present, understand the problems of interpreting written and other evidence, and gain skills of research, analysis, problem-solving, construction of argument and communication. Valued by employers, the practical and transferable skills gained will prepare you for many possible careers, e.g. civil service, heritage sector, the media, or law.We have experts in all fields of history from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, working principally on Wales, Britain, Europe and the USA. This is reflected in the breadth of topics offered from monarchs, monks, princes, Vikings, kings and dictators to holy, civil and world wars, there’s something for everyone.Bangor University is an ideal place to study your History degree: the oldest city in Wales, its Cathedral is located on a site used for Christian worship since the sixth century. Bangor Pier provided access to and from passenger ferries as far back as 1292. You’ll join a welcoming, supportive, close-knit community, which makes your learning experience more personal. Fieldtrips and excursions are integral to the course, capitalising on our spectacular location.‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see History (with Foundation Year) V10F.
