Engage, analyse and appreciate diverse pasts, and learn from the past to inform your future when you study history at UOW History enriches your understanding of the world by offering knowledge and skills to comprehend the broad scope of human experiences - from our everyday lives to global processes. You will learn how to research, critically evaluate debates, and express your arguments and beliefs clearly and effectively.
This specialisation focuses on themes that connect Australian and international history, ancient and modern. You will discover what it is to be a historian, through subjects that help you develop a sophisticated and critical appreciation of contemporary approaches to historical theories, methods, interpretation, arguments, and uses of evidence.
Our core subjects will teach you broad histories of specific Australian, Asian, North American, and European societies. In second and third year you will be able to specialise and study topics in greater depth, including political history, histories of empires, military history, histories of gender and sexuality, global histories of slavery and the histories of Ancient Greece and Rome.
In our core and capstone subjects, you will have the opportunity to follow your own interests and develop projects that draw on digitised historical archives from around the world.
