On our History degree, you will study various sequences of cause and effect from days gone by, drawing your own conclusions about successes and failures.
On this degree in History a choice of modules gives you flexibility to choose how you study the past as it relates to different historic events, themes, countries and chronological periods.
History has been taught at Bangor University since it was established in 1884. We have an excellent reputation for teaching and research in medieval and early modern history, strengths encompass the Normans and Anglo-Normans; Welsh princes, Tudors, and Stuarts. Our expertise in modern and contemporary history includes nationalism, the labour movement, consumerism, protest, government policy, country houses and estates, gender and colonialism.
Bangor University is an ideal place to study your History degree: the oldest city in Wales, its Cathedral is located on a site used for Christian worship since the sixth century. Bangor Pier provided access to and from passenger ferries as far back as 1292. You’ll join a welcoming, supportive, close-knit community, which makes your learning experience more personal. Fieldtrips and excursions are integral to the course, capitalising on our spectacular location.
A short journey away and you can explore the Segontium Roman Fort, established nearly two millennia ago, the medieval Caernarfon Castle. The island of Anglesey is home to the prehistoric burial ground and Neolithic chambered tomb of Bryn Celli Ddu, Caer Gybi, a Roman fort built in the third century, and Beaumaris Castle – the last in the ‘iron ring’ of imposing castles built by Edward I.
