The B.A. in History is for students who want to develop a deeper understanding of the historical events which have shaped the major regions of our world. The programme grounds students in their own Caribbean past while also engaging them with places where peoples’ views of their pasts invoke different issues and alternative patterns of development. Graduates of the programme are expected to be lifelong adaptable learners, critical and analytic thinkers, capable researchers and communicators. This programme provides a basis for postgraduate degree study in History, in Public History & Caribbean Heritage, and related subject areas, including some in the Social Sciences.
