On the BA programme in the history of ideas, you learn to approach received truths critically and to immerse yourself in and argue for new theories. You investigate the thoughts and ideas of the Western world, and you work with the history of philosophy and ideas about society, religion, science and art. Courses on the history of ideas programme are primarily offered in the form of lectures. You also participate in classroom instruction in smaller groups, which gives you an opportunity to make presentations, participate actively in discussions and work together with your study group. There are not very many classroom hours on the programme, and you are responsible for organising the majority of your time when you are preparing for classes and working with your study group.
