Key facts

History is the living, breathing story of humankind – how the past has influenced the present. Historical studies explores the different ways in which western societies, cultures and nations have evolved from the days of Greece and Rome to the present. You can take courses in European and North American history and explore the beginnings of empires to more recent globalization. Learn about art, cultural, gender and environmental history.

Historical Studies students at Memorial University of Newfoundland learn to research, discuss, communicate and engage an audience. You will learn how to investigate important issues and ideas, make sense of them, and critically evaluate them.

Your learning will culminate with an independent project. You'll bring together all of your learning to write an essay on any topic of your choice, delving into areas of history that excite you.
