Make the most of interdisciplinary teaching at Sussex. You’ll study in an internationally respected Sociology department and gain a historical understanding that becomes a tool for positive change.

You’ll study central questions about society and explore how they apply to key moments in time. History at Sussex is not about memorising facts and dates. Instead, you’ll apply historical knowledge to real-world challenges and current topics.
