BA (Hons) History and English

How to apply

Introduction

Develop an understanding of past societies, social change, and how history is expressed through literature.

History and literature are fascinating subjects. By studying both at University Centre West Anglia (UcWA), you'll learn to analyse and express complex ideas.  

You'll discover how social and political contexts shape human perception and cultural expression, and how accounts of historical events can be shaped by conventions of narrative and drama.
