Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [History] From University of St Andrews

If students study the BA (International Honours) in History, they will discover and analyse the full range of human activity over time. Through historical awareness, which enriches contemporary experience by linking the present with the past, they will be able to recognise the cultural and social values that have shaped cultures across the globe. From their studies, they will acquire intellectual skills in evaluating different kinds of evidence, and interpreting and communicating its significance to others.

At St Andrews, their studies will focus on medieval and early modern Europe, including the history of Scotland, England, the British Empire, and Middle Eastern studies.

At William & Mary, their studies will focus on the history of early America, and 19th and 20th century America and Europe, as well as early modern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

In addition, the BA (International Hons) in History requires extensive coursework in a foreign language (Arabic, German, Italian, French, Latin, Russian, or Spanish). Students will typically take one language class during all eight of their semesters.

Their studies will culminate in a significant research project that demonstrates high-calibre scholarship.

The BA (International Honours) is a single Honours degree, and other combinations – such as joint Honours degrees – are not available with this programme. However, during the programme they will have opportunities to study a range of other subjects offered by both institutions.
