The BA (Hons) History and Philosophy at Nottingham Trent University is designed for intellectually curious students who seek to understand the profound ideas and historical forces that have shaped our world. You will explore the origins, character, and legacies of world-transforming ideas and human behaviours, developing a critical understanding of how patterns of thought influence personal and professional life. This undergraduate degree offers a unique opportunity to examine the intellectual, philosophical, and historical processes that underpin contemporary society and human experience, preparing you to engage thoughtfully with complex global challenges and the interplay between theory and practice.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this programme immerses you in the study of history and philosophy through a diverse range of assessments, including creative projects and reflective writing. You will develop key academic skills, engage with interdisciplinary modules like "Transformation: Agency and Self," and have opportunities for practical application through optional work placements or international exchanges in your second year. You will graduate with the ability to critique ideological constructs, communicate ideas creatively, and navigate diverse evidence, equipping you for careers in project management, consultancy, teaching, or the voluntary sector.
