BA (Hons) English and History in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

Literary scholars frequently examine how historical contexts influence poetry, drama, and fiction, whereas historians explore how written works impact cultural and political developments. This combined degree program seeks to deepen your understanding of the connections between these interrelated yet distinct fields.

You'll become part of two expansive departments featuring experts across numerous specialties, with opportunities to cultivate knowledge and analytical techniques applicable to both English literature and historical studies.
Core modules foster examination of interdisciplinary connections, while department-wide elective courses let you pursue specialized interests in specific literary eras and historical periods, honing discipline-specific competencies. Your culminating thesis project will require synthesizing the methodologies acquired through studying both subjects.
