Overview

The BA History and Sociology program at the University of Essex encourages students to explore the interconnectedness of history and sociology. Students delve into both early modern and modern periods in history, examining the impact of political, social, and cultural changes. In sociology, the program investigates what connects and divides people, covering aspects of daily life, relationships, and self-definition. The program allows students to study a wide range of historical topics and examine events in cross-national, thematic, and comparative perspectives, understanding social, cultural, political, and economic contexts. It also familiarizes students with models of historical analysis and the main theoretical traditions of sociology. Students can design and conduct independent studies on specialist topics in history and/or sociology. The curriculum includes a wide range of topics and specialisms such as colonialism, inequality, culture, identity, citizenship, multiculturalism, and human rights.
