About History, BA (Hons) - at Richmond, The American International University in London

History is essential grounding for other disciplines such as art history, gender studies, international relations, literature and politics. The History major at Richmond is interdisciplinary and uses a wide variety of different learning methods. The program is comprised of lectures, seminars, group work and a program of guest lecturers and class visits. Students also make full use of the wealth of resources and research opportunities provided by London and Europe, with trips to museums, conferences, and national archives.

The History major begins with a foundation overview of western and non-western societies followed by a more detailed analysis of particular societies, themes, and/or regions. The major culminates in a senior essay where students research a topic in depth. Our students often comment on the ready availability of our faculty. Average classes at Richmond are both much smaller and much more ethnically diverse than at most other universities. With a typical Junior or Senior level class size of between ten or twenty students, we emphasize individual attention, small group work, student participation, personal research paper writing and seminar-style discussion.
