The Bachelor of Historical Inquiry and Practice is designed for people who want to make history their profession, those who already work in a historical context and want to upskill, or for people planning a career that would benefit from a strong background in history. Professions such as historical fiction and writing, social history and criminology, family history and sociology, national history and languages, cultural history and music, to name a few. Gain a solid grounding in history, its meaning and impacts, and the importance to communities of the role of the historian, and learn how to effectively research and apply history in a professional context. The flexible nature of the Bachelor of Historical Inquiry and Practice means you have the freedom to tailor your studies to your own needs and interests. The degree has eight core units which will provide you with a firm foundation in historical inquiry and practice. You can then choose to focus on a particular area of interest or professional specialty by completing either two Majors, one Major and two Minors, or one Major and one Minor. Majors cover topics ranging from the ancient world, European and Australian history, to family history, archaeology and heritage conservation. You can also choose up to eight elective units from across all UNE's other offerings.
