The Bachelor of Arts with Honours or BA(Hons) is for high-achieving Bachelor of Arts students (or those from equivalent degrees) to select from a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences. UC's BA honours degree is made up of a personalised study programme, which includes elective coursework and a supervised research component. History is at the heart of everything we do and is much more than studying the past - it gives you an insight into who we are as a society now, and helps us make better decisions for the future. At UC, you will learn about different eras of history and cultures around the world, while also looking into our own bicultural heritage. Study Involve: Fit your courses to your interests whether that is revolutions, medieval history, religious beginnings, empires, or criminology. Get hands-on experience with real ancient artefacts through UC's Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities, based at Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Arts Centre of Christchurch, with a collection spanning more than 2,500 years from about 2,000 BCE. You can minor in History in different bachelor’s degrees to add historical knowledge to your studies. Opportunity to complete a practical internship in organisations including archiving, museum curatorship, events and social media management, and research projects.
