Geography and History (joint honours) BA (Hons)

Our joint honours course allows you to pursue your own areas of interest within Geography and History whilst also providing you with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for your future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable you to gradually develop your knowledge and skills and become autonomous, effective and independent learners.<br/><br/>Geography is the study of space, place, society and environment and the ways in which they interconnect. It encourages holistic thinking across social and natural sciences, arts and humanities. History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and to explore how societies develop.<br/><br/>Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.
