Overview

The BA (Hons) History with English Literature (3-year degree) is one of the most popular subject combinations among UK university students, reflecting the value of historical perspective in understanding today’s rapidly changing world. History is highly regarded by employers as it develops independent thinking, the ability to work under pressure, and the skill to construct clear, evidence-based arguments. Historical research is now more engaging than ever, with digital access opening up a vast range of archival sources. The BA History programme at Buckingham has been carefully designed and refined by a team of experienced and high-calibre historians. The course begins with survey modules covering key political, economic, and cultural themes in the history of Britain and Europe from the 1500s to the present day. As the programme progresses, study moves towards more specialised areas such as empire, global migration, and heritage studies. The degree culminates in an independent dissertation that draws on the research, analytical, and writing skills developed throughout the course. The programme not only provides a strong foundation in historical knowledge but also develops the ability to think, research, and write as a historian. The BA History (Hons) with English Literature option is delivered through a major/minor structure that allows the study of multiple disciplines within a single degree. History with English Literature is an ideal combination for those with a strong interest in the written word. History modules, which comprise two-thirds of the overall programme, emphasise engagement with primary historical sources, placing textual analysis at the centre of historical study. This approach aligns closely with English Literature modules, many of which focus on British or American historical periods explored within the History curriculum. By combining History and English Literature, students develop a wide range of transferable skills valued by employers, including reading comprehension, written and oral communication, textual analysis, and logical reasoning.
