Undergraduate study in History

You can choose from courses which focus on a variety of themes, cultures, regions and time periods. You can study New Zealand history, Māori and Indigenous histories, European history, American history and the histories of Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

You will learn both historical content and historical skills: critical and creative thinking, and the ability to research, assess, interpret and present historical information.

You can take a major in History as one of your two BA majors (a double major). You will need to pass at least 120 points (eight courses) towards each of your majors, including at least 45 points (three courses) at Stage III.
