About History, BA - at SOAS University of London

BA History offers students a unique perspective of the history of the world. The programme provides sound foundations of history as a discipline by introducing central approaches and theories in historical analysis. This knowledge is embedded in a global perspective, rather than a Eurocentric one.

Particularly, the programme encourages students to develop their understanding of the regional histories of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East in their own terms, link them to the history of the world, and assess their significance in the world today from a decolonised approach.

The programme supports the development of key skills, including source analysis, collecting data, integrating varied sources and concepts, and the construction and presentation of an argument. All this helps the students cultivate a critical understanding of the diversity of cultures and societies in the world, the historical processes that have produced this diversity, and articulate their own position in it.

Programme aims

  • The programme will allow the student to cultivate their critical understanding of the diversity of cultures and societies in the world today, the historical processes that have produced this diversity and continue to unfold, and the importance of historical context and historical writing in understanding the world today.
  • The programme will allow the student to gain an in-depth understanding of the histories and societies in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
  • The programme will allow the student to develop a critical and decolonised view of the history of the world, using the perspectives and experienced of people in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and the sources that they produced.
  • The programme will allow the students to develop their skills in gathering information, processing it within various theoretical and analytical framework, shaping their own arguments using this data, and communicating their stand in various platforms.
