现代历史文学士学位（荣誉学位）

我们的文学士学位现代历史使您可以研究18世纪至今的英国，欧洲和更广阔的世界的历史。这个激动人心的时期标志着一个发现和全球化的时代-一个快速变化，残酷的战争以及对社会和科学进步的可能性的信念的时代。从大西洋世界的奴隶制历史到在中国，俄罗斯和拉丁美洲传播受共产主义启发的革命-从印度和非洲帝国主义的影响和遗产到冷战的起源和后果-您调查过去250年中不同人的思想，文化和经济的交汇点，以便更好地了解当代世界是如何形成的。
Our BA Modern History allows you to study the history of Britain, Europe and the wider world from the 18th century to the present day. This exciting period has marked an age of discovery and globalisation—a time of rapid change, brutal wars, and belief in the possibility of societal and scientific progress.From the history of slavery in the Atlantic world to the spread of communist-inspired revolutions in China, Russia, and Latin America—from the impacts and legacies of imperialism in India and Africa to the origins and consequences of the Cold War—you investigate the intersection of ideas, cultures and economics of different people over the last 250 years in order to better understand how the contemporary world was made.You have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of optional modules about subjects close to home and further afield, on such topics and themes as colonialism, inequality, culture, identity, citizenship, multiculuralism and human rights.You are taught by award-winning academics from all over the world: our corridors are truly cosmopolitan. We also provide you with opportunities to explore local history and have close ties with the Essex Record Office, one of the best county record offices in the UK.Study abroadYour education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.Studying abroad allows you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are mature, adaptable, and organised.Placement yearWhen you arrive at Essex, you can decide whether you would like to combine your course with a placement year. You will be responsible for finding your placement, but with support and guidance provided by both your department and our Employability and Careers Centre.If you complete a placement year you'll only pay 20% of your usual tuition fee to Essex for that year.
