This programme offers a traditional basis in British, European and world history, but it is in the last area that we are particularly strong and innovative. Our strengths lie in using history to understand the challenges posed by globalisation, ethnic conflict and scientific and environmental change.

Equally exciting is our commitment to public history, which will allow you to undertake, as part of your programme, project work for museums, galleries and similar organisations. You may be working on your own or as part of a team; either way, you will develop skills and gain experience which will help you to compete in today’s competitive graduate job market. This is a distinctive and groundbreaking dimension to our programme.
