Overview

Bachelor of Arts - History

Consider this: You can’t fully appreciate the significance of the Internet without understanding the development of the printing press. 

With a history degree, you’ll learn to think critically about how the past and present are so similar – yet so utterly different.

Study with award-winning professors whose knowledge stretches from the ancient world to the present day.

You’ll get exposure to topics as varied as the history of money, war in the 20th century, the history of sport, Indigenous history, and histories spanning cultures and geographies. 

With a history degree at York, you’ll gain the practical and critical skills to prepare you for a range of employment and further study options. 

Hands-on experiences 

  • Bring your studies to life with a course that takes you abroad – in past years, students have participated in courses in Greece and Spain.
  • Public History course offers on-site learning with field placements at museums, archives and galleries.
