Bachelor of Arts in History

Today's challenges, dispositions, habits, and conflicts are all rooted in the past. If you do not understand the past, you cannot begin to fathom the present, let alone look ahead to the future. Retrospectively speaking, the past is a strange realm, an exotic place where people thought and acted in vastly different ways. Yet, precisely that contrast makes the History programme such an interesting and challenging course of study!
