The History Programme aims to be one of the leading centres of historical scholarship on modern and contemporary Asia.
It is a unique institution that seeks to train students to not only think critically but also to apply interdisciplinary methods to identify and address contemporary problems from historical perspectives.
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 4) The nature of the historical discipline itself. The BA (Honours) programme 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.

Please note the following:
The grade profiles, GPAs and programme places vary from year to year, depending on the number and performance of applicants, and the number of places available.
Meeting the previous year's grade/GPA scores of a programme does not guarantee admission to that programme for the current year.
NTU is increasingly admitting students based on holistic practices including written exams and interviews. For this reason we encourage all interested parties to apply.
The curriculum is designed as a four-year programme. Well-prepared students can complete the degree in three and a half years.
