Overview

Why do wars and conflicts start? How has technology impacted societies? How and why is the past used and abused by political leaders, groups and nations?

Learning about the past can help us understand and solve many of the world’s problems today.

At Kent, you will explore over 1500 years of history in Britain, Europe and across the world. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the 21st century, you’ll consider how political, social and cultural changes have impacted class, gender, race, injustice and power.

You will live and learn in Canterbury - a city steeped in history. Canterbury Cathedral was founded in 597, and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of the city.

With London and mainland Europe nearby, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit sites such as the battlefield of Waterloo, trenches of the Great War and the site of the Normandy landings.

Our well-established links with the National Archives, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, British Library, Canterbury Cathedral and the Imperial War Museum will give you access to collections, artefacts and opportunities including visits and potential work placements.
