Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [History] From Victoria University of Wellington

Historical study seeks to understand the whys and wherefores of the past and unravel its mysteries. Victoria will teach you how to think, not what to think. You'll turn ideas over and look at them from several angles. Learn to argue your point of view and be prepared for it to change. You'll study in an inspiring environment with highly qualified lecturers who will help you develop a broad and disciplined intellect, so you can be successful in whatever career you choose.

It is a subject which offers numerous areas of specialisation?on particular regions, time periods or themes such as the history of work, ideas of race or nationalism?and one which generates enthusiasm and commitment from both staff and students. By introducing us to cultures distant from our own in time and space, historical study broadens our general cultural knowledge, reminds us that our own cultural values are historically constructed, and teaches us about the development of human societies.
