University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
The BA History and Philosophy program offers a unique opportunity to explore two disciplines that contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the world. In the diverse and inclusive History curriculum, students delve into various cultures and identities, with a strong emphasis on people's history and everyday lives. The first-year program explores the making of the modern world through captivating subjects such as beliefs, magic, medicine, campaigns for freedom and equality, and an in-depth look at Africa and America from Hamilton to Trump. Active researchers, the lecturers provide an engaging academic community, fostering excitement in original work. In Philosophy modules, students tackle profound questions about the nature of reality, knowledge, mind, and ethical considerations regarding how we should live and organize society. Throughout the degree, analytical skills development serves as a common thread between the two disciplines. History students learn to analyze historical documents and debates, while Philosophy students assess arguments and form conclusions on crucial issues. These honed analytical skills prove invaluable in the final year, especially for those choosing to write a dissertation. The work placement/study abroad option between the second and final year enhances students' experiences and boosts their CVs. The main campus at College Lane, housing creative arts, science, and health-related subjects, provides a vibrant environment where students share spaces with future nurses, scientists, and artists. With 24-hour gym access, on-campus pubs, cafes, and restaurants, students have ample opportunities for relaxation and socializing. The Learning Resources Centres, open 24/7, offer flexibility for studying. Whether students choose to study abroad, pursue work placements, or proceed directly to the final year, the BA History and Philosophy program ensures a rich and diverse academic journey. Past student projects, inspired by their experiences, have covered topics ranging from the history of jiu jitsu to ethical issues in video games and environmental philosophy.
