Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History with foundation year

The BA History course spans across the entire historical chronology. From Ancient Rome to modern day, students can undertake historical research to suit their interests. Explore the likes of the cold war, ancient civilisations, and global fascism before specialising in their particular field with the Dissertation in year 3. What’s more, with a degree in History from CCCU, students can work closely with other disciplines, such as Archaeology, enabling them to collaborate and gain wider experience during their course. Not only will they delve into multiple periods of local and world history, but they will also gain invaluable transferable skills, which will prepare them for employment. Vital skills such as analysis, critical thinking, and reflection are used in almost every job, so a degree in History will certainly kickstart their career in their chosen sector.

History modules are assessed by a variety of methods, with coursework being by far the most common. The coursework component typically involves essays, document analyses, presentations, portfolio assignments, VLE based projects, and class-based multiple choice tests. Few if any modules have a formal, written examination component. Usually, each module has two pieces of assessment of different kinds. Students must achieve a pass mark of 40 or above in all Year 1 modules order to progress to Year 2. Recent history graduates have embarked on careers in heritage, education, the public sector, the arts industries and business.
