The History programme at Durham is designed to give you a sense of the diversity of human experience - geographically and chronologically. Right from the start of your degree you will learn about a very broad range of places and different time periods. You can also explore diverse themes, concepts, methods, and approaches, such as environmental and scientific history, visual cultures, and gender and sexuality. Since our academics have expertise in a tremendous variety of fields, you will be supported in developing your own specialist historical interests and the skills necessary actively to research these yourself. The course will also equip you with problem solving and presentation skills that are valuable in many careers.


Throughout your degree, you will be encouraged to attend an extensive programme of activities, including research seminars and public lectures from high-profile guest speakers.


Durham Education 2027


The University is committed to continuous improvement and is currently undertaking a review to enhance our courses. As we make updates, some details of courses advertised for 2027 entry may change. These enhancements are being developed in consultation with students and in response to student feedback. We will not be making changes to degree subjects, academic standards or the broad concepts that will be taught, but to how courses are organised. In some cases this may mean that the balance of compulsory and optional modules may change. Any updates will be communicated transparently and by the end of summer 2026, ensuring applicants know exactly what to expect from their chosen degree.
