Modern History - BA (Hons)

Modern History at Lincoln explores the political, social, cultural, and economic transformations that have shaped the world since the late eighteenth century. From revolution and empire to war, migration, identities, and globalisation, the course examines the key developments that continue to influence contemporary societies. You'll study the forces that created the modern and contemporary world and learn how to analyse evidence, interpret competing perspectives, and construct persuasive arguments about complex historical and global issues. All the while, you'll develop analytical, research, and communication skills valued across a wide range of professions. At Lincoln, you will combine historical study with the development of real-world skills that have prepared our graduates for careers in law, education, heritage, the public sector, the media, marketing and many other fields.
