Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History with Film

Study with a top History department and be taught from the cutting edge of historical research. Students will further their skills with a unique film course which combines the study of film as an art form with learning the practical skills of film making.

Through a diverse and inclusive History curriculum students will learn about an array of cultures and identities. What links Hertfordshire's work is their focus on people’s history and everyday lives. This is represented strongly in the first year programme, which will give students an insight into the making of the modern world through exploration of faith, magic and medicine, campaigns for freedom and equality, Africa and the world, and America from Hamilton to Trump.

This ability to work as an effective and confident researcher, honed over the course of their studies, will benefit students in the final year of History if they choose to write a dissertation. This extended piece of work will grow out of a topic that interests them. Previous students have combined their Film and History studies to explore issues of propaganda or the depiction of historical events in film.
