History BA

Learning at Roehampton is designed to be interactive, supportive and vocation‑oriented. Students attend dynamic workshops that combine discussion, debate and practical challenges, and they investigate the past using primary sources ranging from archival documents and oral testimony to images, objects and digital collections. The curriculum encourages experimentation with digital tools and creative methods used by contemporary historians, and it includes site‑specific field trips that exploit London’s rich historical resources. Assessment is entirely coursework‑based and varies from traditional essays and oral presentations to blogs, posters, digital outputs, consultancy‑style reports and a final‑year research project that integrates planning, execution and scholarly communication. Throughout the programme, learners develop advanced research, critical thinking, communication, digital literacy, teamwork, project management and independent problem‑solving skills, and assessment builds step by step with continuous feedback, guidance and examples to showcase their capabilities to future employers.
