Are you interested in understanding how human societies have evolved and how major historical processes have shaped the world today? Are you interested in analysing social, political and cultural phenomena with a critical and contextualised perspective? Would you like to study these subjects in a faculty and on a campus that will allow you to receive training that values interdisciplinarity and research?
The new bachelor's degree in History at the UAB offers you a solid and flexible education, which will allow you to delve deeper into your interests and acquire a critical perspective on the past. You will learn to interpret historical processes with rigour, to construct well-founded arguments and to communicate knowledge clearly and effectively.
Studying history is learning to think historically: understanding the changes, ideas and structures that have marked humanity in different geographical, temporal, social and cultural contexts. This bachelor's degree combines a solid theoretical foundation with practical skills aimed at analysis, research and dissemination.
Graduates will be able to identify the phases in the construction of the historical narrative, from the critical analysis of sources to the elaboration of syntheses in academic and informative formats. They will also be prepared to discuss the main historiographical trends in relation to each of their ideological contexts.
We want to prepare students to interpret the past in a comprehensive way and contribute to the debate on the challenges of the present in a quality university environment, with excellent teaching staff linked to recognised research groups, external work placements and international mobility programmes.
