Bachelor of Historical Inquiry and Practice
choose a degree that will set you apart
The Bachelor of Historical Inquiry and Practice will be offered at UNE for the first time in 2011, and has been tailored to suit students wishing to study history at university without the added requirements of a BA (Bachelor of Arts). This course is aimed at anyone with a serious interest in history, and particularly at those who use – or wish to use - history in their career or workplace. This degree – unique to UNE – allows you the flexibility of broad study, following your interests across UNE’s areas of ancient history or history speciality. You will also be guided by specialized units aimed at developing practical and professional skills in the uses of history, and the better understanding and interpretation of the past. The course is a full 3 years of full-time study (also available on a part-time basis), with your own ‘History Project’ the focus in the final year. This enables you to tailor your work to areas of specific professional or personal interest, including (but not limited to) work on a piece of historical fiction, a multimedia or web project, a scholarly article, or a documentary. The specialized units are:
- What is History?
- The Historian
- History: Uses and Abuses
- Researching and Applying History
