A degree in History will provide you with a wide range of skills which will be useful in your future study or employment. Alongside in-depth subject knowledge you’ll develop skills in researching, analysing and assessing sources, written and verbal communication, managing and interpreting information and developing ideas and arguments. In addition you will learn how to manage your time and meet tight deadlines. Some of our graduates choose to follow their interest in their degree studies with further study or with a career in teaching or museum and archive work. Others use the more generic skills gained on their course to enter a wide variety of careers such as law, government administration and business.
