Undergraduate Study

At Hull we offer applicants a very wide choice of degree programmes to suit every type of interest in History and some of its related subjects.

The BA History Programme offers various options ranging from Single Honours in History to Joint Honours degrees.

Specialised History degrees are available in Twentieth Century History, Maritime History, History of Art and Archaeology.

History degree programmes are made up of modules. Typically, full-time students take six modules per academic year; some of these take place in a single term, while others run across both terms. The range of History modules on offer at Hull is one of our many strengths. The links on the left allow you to view our modules either by period, ranging from ancient times to the present day. BA History joint honours students take a core module in History, either 'Exploring the Past' or 'Representing the Past in Film' - both of these are ‘long thin' modules that run in both semesters. From the modules offered by the Department, you will also need to choose a ‘short fat' module for each semester. This will give you the total of 60 credits that you need from the History side of your degree programme. Students on some joint programmes might also be able to do a ‘long thin' free elective. This could be a History module. If you are interested in this, please refer to the University's Free Electives Handbook.
