Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History

A three year honours degree in history, covering historiography, selected historical periods, archival and source analysis, historical argument and a final year dissertation.

History builds research and written argument rather than a named vocation, which is worth understanding as you plan what follows it. Bangor also runs history at master level and in combination with modern languages.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the history degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the history degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the history degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the history degree does not support a family move.
