Our teaching connects the past with the most pressing issues facing humanity whilst training you to apply the valuable historical skills of interpreting evidence, understanding context, constructing robust analyses, and communicating your ideas with others. Varied assessments help you practice these skills, design projects and develop the persuasive storytelling that means our history graduates can fulfil their potential in future careers in government, public organisations, creative industries, education, business, law and beyond.

On the History with Study Abroad programme, you will spend your third year abroad, studying in English at one of our partner universities overseas.
