COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today. The history major will enrich your understanding of the world by offering knowledge and skills to comprehend the broad scope of human experiences – from our everyday lives to global processes. You will learn how to research, critically evaluate debates, and express your arguments and beliefs clearly and effectively.
This degree focuses on themes that connect Australian and international history, ancient and modern. You will discover what it is to be a historian, through subjects that help you develop a sophisticated and critical appreciation of contemporary approaches to historical theories, methods, interpretation, arguments, and uses of evidence. Our core subjects will teach you broad histories of specific Australian, Asian, North American, and European societies. In second and third year you will be able to specialise and study topics in greater depth, including political history, histories of empires, military history, histories of gender and sexuality, global histories of slavery and the histories of Ancient Greece and Rome.
In our core and capstone subjects, you will have the opportunity to follow your own interests and develop projects that draw on digitised historical archives from around the world. In addition to the history major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
Completion of full majors at regional campuses is subject to availability at time of enrolment.
