可选的国外年份。通过研究过去的社会和事件，您可以从新的角度看待现代世界，比较和对比过去和现在，并更好地了解它们之间的联系。布鲁内尔（Brunel）的“历史”计划着眼于近代英国，欧洲和更广阔世界的历史，您将从各种历史角度探讨这一历史，包括经济，社会，政治，知识和文化。
Perhaps history has always been an interest for you or it's something youve developed an interest in by studying it at school or college. Either way, everyone on the Modern History BA at Brunel starts off on the same level playing field, without the need for a history qualification. History is about understanding what it means to be human. Studying and analysing it will take you back into the societies of the past to help you understand contemporary issues all the more. It's also a subject that will help to demonstrate your intellectual acumen and understanding of world affairs, which will be an asset in so many fields of work. Your studies at Brunel will focus on the history of Britain, Europe and the wider world in the modern period, looking closely at life as it was lived then, observing differences, similarities, patterns and connections with the present day. Along the way, you will build a toolkit of transferable skills gained through evidence gathering, analysis, problem-solving, drafting and communications, which can be applied to a wide range of industries within the public and private sector. Opt for a placement year and youll be adding a year's experience in a job role and industry sector that will help to show future employers where you might be a good fit for their organisation. Your placement doesnt have to be related to history and youll get plenty of support from staff and resources in the University's Professional Development Centre to help steer you in the right direction.
