The Faculty are committed to pursue excellent research and teaching in areas such as:

Rethinking the multiple dimensions of Asian history in global context
How science, technology and medicine have transformed human societies and global relations
How the past affects the present
The nature of the historical discipline itself

The BA History programme at Nanyang Technological University was structured to equip students with the breadth of knowledge about major historical subjects. It further enables students to concentrate their studies on what most appeals to them as they advance in their coursework. In addition, the undergraduate programme cultivates interdisciplinarity. All of the training will culminate in the final year research project, where students showcase their capacities to conduct independent research and advance an argument persuasively. To be awarded the BA (Honours), students should demonstrate the capability to master the secondary literature in their chosen areas of study, engage in independent research, exercise critical judgment about the texts that they encounter, and communicate their findings in a well-reasoned and scholarly manner.
