BA (Hons) in History and Zoology

What is Joint Honours?

With joint honours, you can study for an honours degree in two or even three subjects. Find out more about joint honours.

History

This course is not just intellectually challenging and politically relevant, it's also entertaining, inspiring and moving. We want you to have more skills and abilities than those traditionally associated with history graduates. So as well as developing your academic skills, you'll learn how to apply your historical knowledge to different roles.

As part of this course, you'll have the chance to do fieldwork at a range of locations from rural country houses to industrial Manchester. You'll visit a variety of museums, art galleries, heritage sites and towns, so you can explore the practical and intellectual applications of history.

Zoology

This course focuses on animal biology, such as vertebrate and invertebrate biology, molecular biology, genetics and pgysiology. You'll also cover topics, such as wildlife conservation, ecology and animal behaviour, to give you a broad knowledge of zoology.

You will taught with students studying BSc (Hons) Zoology, but the modules you'll study will depend on how you decide to combine the joint honours courses you choose.
