Course summary

Our BA in Modern and Contemporary History is taught by internationally renowned academics with expertise in modern British, European and American history and the international relations that have defined the world as we know it. You’ll build specialist knowledge of the history and historical techniques of the modern era, and apply a historical perspective to a sweeping range of contemporary issues. You'll choose from modules focusing on Europe and the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, exploring leadership, government and broader social and cultural contexts. You’re also free to take modules which provide global perspectives or consider earlier historical periods. Your classes will teach you how to engage with contemporary history using critical analysis: whether biographical, such as Kennedy or Thatcher national, such as British or American history or thematic, such as the history of terrorism or political thought. Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Modern and Contemporary History BA with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).
