BA (Hons) Communications and History
Understand contemporary human identities and behaviours through the complex and contested historical, political, social, environmental and ideological forces that shape our experiences.
A degree in Communications and History is a powerful combination that can equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to make a difference in the world. With a deep understanding of human communication and the historical context in which it occurs, graduates of this program are well-prepared to tackle the complex challenges of the contemporary world.
Communications modules provide a broad and diverse understanding of human interaction and the ways in which people communicate with each other. This includes not only verbal communication, but the use of media and technology, political communications and the art of persuasion.
History modules provide a crucial framework for understanding the complex and interconnected world we live in. By examining the events, movements, and people of the past, you will gain a deep appreciation for how the world we know today came to be: the present is a direct legacy of a complex past. This knowledge will give you a critical perspective on contemporary issues and allow you to make informed decisions as a citizen, leader, or professional.
Combining these two fields of study can lead to a powerful and inspiring career path. You could work as a communications specialist in a non-profit organization, helping to raise awareness of social issues and advocating for change. Alternatively, you might work as a public relations professional, helping businesses and organizations to effectively communicate with their customers, employees, and stakeholders. You could also pursue a career in journalism, bringing historical context to current events and helping people to make sense of the world around them.
No matter what path you choose, a degree in Communications and History can provide a solid foundation for a meaningful and impactful career. You will have the skills, knowledge, and perspective needed to make a real difference in the world, and the inspiration to do so.
