Key facts:

Our degree sets you on a path towards a wide range of future careers. We give all students a chance to work on placement with a local business or cultural partner, and our unique new module on place and heritage helps you learn about policy making and funding applications in the real world. More broadly, as you explore new approaches to understanding the environment, conflict, and society around the world, you will be prepared for many future careers – recent alumni work in jobs that range from barrister or property manager to university researcher to archive manager, author, teacher, and much more.

You will be taught by leading researchers in the field (our historians were ranked 10th in the UK for their publications in the Research Excellence Framework, 2021). Your own research will thrive, leading to a dissertation where you make your own mark on the world of history, a project that gives you a voice in contemporary debates, and which builds confidence for a range of careers. Students will also have the option to extend their studies, either taking a placement year in industry or opting to study abroad in the likes of mainland Europe or North America.
