BA History and Sociology

BA History and Sociology will allow you to study past and present societies from both a historical and a sociological perspective, comparing and contrasting these two important ways of studying human society.

You will have the opportunity to study a wide historical and geographical range of periods and cultures, gaining a thorough sociological understanding of contemporary and practical social affairs and an understanding of their origins and development.

By combining the skills and insights of History and Sociology, you will achieve a thorough induction into studying the past alongside the approaches and theoretical frameworks relating to the study of society.

You will be offered a wide range of course units to choose from that will develop your knowledge of both disciplines, enhance your skills in analysis and critical reasoning, and improve your understanding and application of theoretical approaches to the past and present.
