Description

The Bachelor's Degree in Geography and History is multidisciplinary and versatile, preparing students for a wide range of careers such as educational services, public administration services or the media. This degree has a distinctive character that sets it apart from the usual approach of three separate specialised degrees in History, History of Art and Geography. Our programme includes subjects in History, History of Art and Geography that provide a basic grounding for understanding the past and the present, knowing the territory and acquiring certain skills (critical thinking, the ability to synthesise, information searching). Another feature worth highlighting is the possibility of taking the Bachelor's Degree in Geography and History in blended-learning mode, in which students only have to attend the assessment tests, with the advantage of accessing the teaching material through an online platform and the option of attending whichever face-to-face classes they wish.
