History, BA - 2016/17

History at Canterbury Christ Church is a thriving programme which combines innovative high-quality teaching with internationally-acclaimed research in a friendly and supportive learning environment. You can study History as a single honours degree or as a combined honours degree in tandem with a second subject. Some Archaeology modules are also open to History students or you can opt to take an honours degree in History with Archaeology. The student learning experience is at the heart of our work. All of our undergraduate modules are highly-rated by external examiners and other quality auditors, and we get very high satisfaction rates in the National Student Survey. Our philosophy of teaching emphasizes active and shared learning: our students not only learn from their tutors and from their own individual research and reflection, but also from each other. We work to foster a culture of collaboration, both between students and between tutors and students, in both virtual learning environments and in the classroom. Our lecturers research diverse and fascinating areas such as medieval Queenship, the Vietnam War, poverty and popular protest, and the Crusades. Our research informs our teaching, which means your classroom experience is always on the cutting edge of what we know about the past. Students on this programme are also eligible to apply to study for a year in North America as part of their degree.
