Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - Modern History

In UEA's BA Modern History degree, students will study the forces that have shaped our world. 

Students will be taught by a team of internationally-recognised historians and learn about developments around the globe – from the Soviet Union to modern Japan, from modules examining propaganda to landscape history, and beyond. They will learn how to develop and communicate their own ideas, and how to interpret historical sources.  

Choice are at the heart of this degree. Building on a firm grounding in the first year, students will  choose from a wide range of optional modules in their second and third years. 

Norwich is an ideal place to study, with a rich history of its own. Nowadays it is a lively modern city, and on the beautiful campus students will benefit from UEA's strengths in British, European and global research, including internationally renowned centres in Eastern European history and East Anglian studies. Students will have the chance to gain first-hand experience of history through a network of partnerships with heritage organisations such as Norfolk Museums. 

The skills students learn will be invaluable in the workplace. Graduates have gone on to careers as varied as the Civil Service, media, local government, law, finance, heritage, teaching and many more.
