BA History and Sociology

Objectives This degree allows you to explore, amongst other things, the approaches and methods used by historians and sociologists. It reflects a convergence of interests among the teaching staff at Warwick, between historically-minded sociologists and sociologically-minded historians. The first year is composed primarily of core courses and is designed to introduce all students to key themes in History and in Sociology, and to understand the issues that arise from combining the two approaches. Students also choose options from the wide variety of modules offered by the two Departments. In the Final Year you can, if you wish, specialise mainly in History or in Sociology. Alternatively, you can continue to divide your study equally between the two disciplines.
Entry requirements General university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
