History is an imaginative process; it requires us to appreciate things from points of view that are often very different. Covering topics ranging from the ancient world to the present and encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, you’ll analyse the processes and ideas that have shaped our world.

Follow the endlessly fascinating threads of human history from the ancient world right up to the twenty-first century, as you learn to master the skills for historical research and a successful future.

Through the study of history, we learn to analyse the complexity of human society and culture from many different perspectives. Historians are skilled in a critical appreciation of how cultures and ideas are constructed and negotiated; an understanding of power, especially who has power, how they got it, and how they use it; and what this means for people's sense of identity.

Knowing about the events of the past also provides an essential basis for understanding the modern world, which is highly relevant for the challenges that face us today and in the future.

With experts in every area of the globe and whose interests cover more than two millennia, history at Sheffield thus offers you the necessary global context to understand the most complex problems.

Studying history is also a personal journey, as you learn independent judgement, how to critique accepted opinions, and hone the skill of making your own effective arguments.

Equipping you with analytical and practical skills, you’ll be able to conduct your own research project and determine the direction of your degree based on the wide variety of modules that make up our vibrant, research-led curriculum.
