History

Description

The study of history is a dynamic and ever-changing pursuit, shaped as much by the questions of the present as the events of the past. Our degree focuses on the experiences of individuals, nations and empires and the ideas and events that shaped their place in history. It not only investigates what happened in the past, but why it happened and what this can tell us about society, culture, power, identity and the human condition. Our programme focuses on British and European/International history from 1500 to the present day.

Throughout the degree students learn to research primary and secondary sources, evaluate evidence, analyse arguments, devise and debate their ideas, and express their own thoughts and theories effectively. Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, workshops and one-to-one discussion and feedback sessions. Class sizes are small in comparison to many other universities enabling students to form a supportive and cohesive community, and staff to offer considerable personal attention and support.

A degree in History opens the door to many careers. Graduates go on to careers in teaching and academia, archive and library services, the museum and heritage industries, the civil service, local and national government, media and advertising, publishing and journalism, human resources and management and many more.
