Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Journalism Studies

Our History degree will equip students with a wide range of intellectual and personal skills. The students will gain an awareness of how different societies across the world have changed over time, by exploring areas such as Scottish, British, European, American and African history. The students will also engage with different types of history, including political, social, cultural, gender, computer and environmental.

History lecturers and staff at Stirling are leaders in their field. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework assessment, 98% of our research in history was classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. That expertise and passion feeds into every aspect of the students course to ensure they reach their final year of study functioning as a fully-fledged historian in your own right. Along the way, the students willl enjoy the freedom to not only focus in on specialty areas of history that interest them most, but also to combine their studies with one of 16 other subjects that broaden their professional possibilities – from journalism to teaching, politics and sociology.
